It was such a relief to have my old sexuality back. I know what you mean about missing it. Unfortunately, the REmeron didn't work on my depression. The good news though, is that I didn't gain any weight. The problem with it is that it makes you *really* hungry about half an hour after you take it. But it also makes you *really* tired. I was able to just go to sleep -- I was so tired I couldn't make it to the kitchen. The point is, be sure you take the Remeron at night, when you are ready to go to bed. It knocks you out, so much so that you can choose sleep over eating!
