I remember having problems with bleeding gums (and possibly sores...it's hard to remember) when I first started Remeron. I do sometimes still get sores in my mouth, but I think it's more of a cyclical PMS thing now...likely not due to Remeron.
I'd make sure I mentioned the soreness to your MD...want to make sure you're not having that, rare weird reaction (autoimmune problem???, I can't remember) to Remeron. However, I remember bringing up gum bleeding and mouth issues with my Dr. and worrying about it being that rare side effect and he said "you'd know if it was because you'd be having the worst sore throat of your life!" Still, though, check it out.
My mouth issues have resolved. You may find that yours do, too, with a little time. Also, at 45 mg I'm not drowsy at all during the day. If I take it early enough at night (8:30 or so), getting up isn't too tough. I do sometimes have to "throw" myself out of bed, but once I'm moving, I'm awake. I've gained a little weight, too, but not much. It's a small price to pay for feeling so good.
I've taken 45 mg/night for almost 4 years now for depression and OCD, and I'd have to say, this drug has changed my life. Good luck!
