> > I have been on Remeron for 2 years. I started with 45mg and after one month moved to my current dosage of 60mg. I suffered depression, Bulimia, panic attacks and sleeplessness (2 to 3 hours a night) prior to Remeron. I am diagnosed OCD, ADD and I'm a recovering addict. I am now sleeping 6 to 8 hours a night. No more Bulimia, panic attacks. I've remained drug and alcohol free for 3 years and 7 months. I feel great. I began seeing results after the first week of treatment. I have been on several combinations of Zoloft, Serazone, Doxepin, Amitriptyline, Imipramine, Hydroxyzine, and Haldol. I am very pleased with my results. I gained about 10 pounds, but lost it a year later. Sometimes hard to wake up, but that is minor. I am rarely tired during the day, but I also take a dose of Adderall in the morning. I have been on the same dose of both for 22 months now. Hope this helps, but remember to listen to your doctor. Different drugs work for different people. Also, once my depression and bulimia left me, I began to eat healthier foods and exercise 3 days a week (outdoors if possible). This last change helped bring me to where I am today.
