I'm one of those who was taking Remeron for sleep, but had to stop because of weight gain. My PDoc knew it might be an issue and we ramped up to 60mg within a week, but eventually had to drop it as food just tasted tooooo good.
This last weekend I tried an experiment, as I'd been sick with a head/chest cold all week and absolutely, positively needed to get some major sleep. I used my pill splitter to cut one of my remaining 30mg Remeron tabs to 15mg and the again to 7.5mg. I then took that dose each night with my Topamax and it worked like a charm: uninterrupted sleep for 8-10 hours; just what the doctor ordered.
I think I'll keep this under wraps for those times when I absolutely need it, as the weight gain (especially at lower doseages) for me is too much to take...
Good luck!
Tony
