Hi,
I did gain some weight over the last five and one half years on Remeron. I went from a skinny, nervous, obsessive 134 to my current happy, content state of 149 or so.I was actually heavier last year (my fiance too...we were commuting for a long distance relationship and ate out a lot and didn't exercise so much. Now we're both in the same city, which really helps. We go to the gym together now.), but I've been eating better and exercising more, so I'm back to approximately 15 more than I was originally.
However, some is probably due to getting older and,honestly, to being happier (I used to get so depressed/stressed that I couldn't eat...lost 20 pounds at one dark time...was very underweight for my frame...and miserable. Weight is definitely not everything.).
So, I went from a size 8 to a size 10. It's not a big deal for me...and it is possible to lose weight. Weight gain (and crazy hunger) seems to be less at dosages 30mg and above, according to my pdoc. I've been at 45mg for a long time, and really I'm feeling fit and happy.
Hope this helps.
Jill
