I have been taking Remeron for two weeks now and have gained 10 pounds in that time period, eating about the same as before.
Despite the great sleep it's been giving me, no more Remeron for the next three nights to see if I can get my weight to drop.
I'm on maintainance at Weight Watchers and should be no more than 2 pounds plus or minus from my goal weight. This sudden gain has really hurt my self esteem and my self-talk has turned negative. If it weren't for the Effexor, I'd definitely be super depressed right now ;(
This really is a shame, as I have been greatly helped in the sleep department. I feel heavy and my new clothes are starting to get tight. If I can get the pounds back off, I may add a very small dose of the Remeron back in for sleep. I'm at 60mg per night now, and the higher doseage was SUPPOSED to counteract the weight-gain side effect. Oh well...
Yuk!
