I've always struggled with my weight and work really hard at keeping it down and stable (116 -122 lbs). I regularly exercise and eat healthy. 4 weeks ago I was diagnosed with depression and given a 28 day course of 30mg Zispin/Remeron. Almost immediately I felt the benefits as one of my main symptoms was insomnia and I've slept like a baby every since. However the down side is I've gained 6lbs during this time. Not a lot some may say but to me it may as well as 6 stone. Any suggestions on what I should do? Do I increase or decrease the dose? Do I change medication or do I stop altogether? I really would rather be deprived of sleep than to gain more weight.
