> I am on Topomax 200 mg and was changed to Remeron since May for Biplor Disorder. I take 60 mg at night and I have gained 20 pds so far. My driving is dangerously impaired, I am tired all the time, my moods are a rollercoaster, I forget everything, I fight with everyone, my skin is greasy and my sex life sucks. But I sleep great and my depression isnt too bad, but my mania is pretty scary. I get ugly. I want off this crap, before something major happens. Thats why my name is Dazed because I am. Also when I first started this med I couldnt eat because everything tasted really bad, I had to even scape chocolate jimmies off icecream! And Pizza tasted like grease. Now I just want to eat everything in site so its not take more and the weight will come off not true at all. I wanna know has anyone had greasy hair and skin? I am washing my face 4-5 times a day with soap and it is still just gross. I am going tues and hopefully I am getting off this stuff so I can think right again. This is not worth it to me!

I think I read somewhere that Remeron can make mania worse. It sounds like it may be doing that to you.? Good thing you're going to be seeing your doc soon. I think there are better meds for bi-polar disorder than this one.Good Luck
