I've taken Remeron successfully for 3 1/2 years to treat major depression and mild/moderate OCD. I must say that I feel great. However, lately, the weight I've put on is starting to bother me more. Even though it's not huge (10-12 pounds), on my frame, I can tell. I take 45 mg/night. I'm increasing my exericse and am going to ask my doc about increasing the dosage to 52.5 or 60mg/night to see if that helps dampen my appetite.
Have any of you had experience taking more than 45mg? I read some stuff on Dr. Bob's site that in Europe the starting dose of the roughly equivalent drug there is 60mg??? That posting said weight gain is much less common of a side-effect then.
I do have trouble waking up in the morning too. Maybe that would lessen with a higher dose...however, I still want to be able to sleep.
Hmmm...I'd love some input. Overall, I think this drug is wonderful. Thanks
