In reply to high doses probably equal less weight gain, posted by 3 Beer Effect on January 24, 2002, at 13:25:31
> Remeron is unlike other anti-depressants in that the higher the dose, the less the sedation. I found that 45 mg is tolerably (slightly) sedating & 60 mg is not sedating at all & somewhat energizing. 60 or 75 mg of remeron per day would probably result in little or no weight gain but will not help you sleep at those doses. At higher doses the norepinephrine agonist effect cancels out the antihistamine (drowsiness) effect of the drug.

Any ideas how I can either 1. change her mind (because i was only on it because I was suicidal and made me sleep so I felt a bit better) or 2. stop gaining weight and lose it if I go back on it
Hi...You can add Ranitadin ( zantac) to the Remeron. This combo will avoid the weightgain from Remeron.
Many pdoc have used this combo with great success.Sincerely...//Petters
