> Hi. I've been on Remeron for 4 months. At first I didn't gain weight. Then after 2 months my stomach started acting up and I was hungry all the time. So I tried upping the dose from 30mg to 45mg. That only seemed to make it worse. I also started taking Xantac because of the acid/heartburn. I decided to go off Remeron because of the weight gain, and was tapering off, when the stomach acid/hunger problem stopped when I was at 22.5mg. So now I'm on 22.5mg for the past 2 weeks.
Well done for sticking it out, how do you find it as an anti-depressant? Did you experience lots of unpleasant side effects at first?
I'm back on Prozac, my first drug of choice! I was experimenting with Remeron to see if it would suit me better, but as I couldn't hack the side effects I decided to go back on the Prozac - better the devil you know and all that!!Best of luck to you
