> I gained weight with Remeron buut was able to halt the gain by modifying my diet and exercising more, but I was able to lose weight when I started on Wellbutrin. The most weight came off when I dropped Remeron altogether and kept on the Wellbutrin. We added Serzone to the Wellbutrin more than 8 months ago and have not found a weight problem.
