In reply to Remeron and increased appetite?? HELP!, posted by Earthmamma on May 13, 2003, at 17:00:05
> But I've also read that some of these meds alter the body's metabolism. While I'd rather have a few extra pounds than have to deal with my severe anxiety and panic attacks (PPD related), I'm still worried about it. I have heard that some people gain 50+ lbs on this drug! I am only 5'1" and I can't "hide" extra weight.
> Any advice on this??
My husband was on Remeron for about a year. Up to that point, it was the only thing that helped his insomnia. HOWEVER, my alway-slim husband gained almost 30lbs. He went from a 32" waist to a 36. Exercise didn't help. the only thing that worked is going off Remeron. I hope you can find a comparable med that doesn't put a "rim-around" you. Good luck!
