Forget it! After only 3 weeks of a walking coma and my father telling me at Thanksgiving dinnner that "You sure are getting fat." I give up on Remeron. I think I'm going to jump back on the whirling wheel of AD's and see what else I can find.>
> I took it for 7 months, despite the enormous appetite increase. I found it sedating at any dose, but in the long term, higher doses tended to be more sedating. In the short term, higher doses tended to be less sedating. Go figure. It took me about a week to get used to the sedation and then I felt fine during the day--which is weird, since I can't even take a Tylenol PM without being zonked for 24 hours.

> Wellbutrin helped with the appetite increase but after gaining 15 pounds with no end in sight I went off Remeron and really miss the deep sleep.
