I was diagnosed with bipolar II about 9 months ago. Even with depakote I still go through manic episodes and can't sleep for sometimes up to 3 days.
My doctor prescribed me 30mg of remeron at nighttime to sleep. I've only taken it once--it made me sleep for 14 hours! I think I might decrease the dosage.
Anyway, I was wondering--is remeron making people gain weight b/c their appetite is increased, or are their eating habits the same and the weight is still gained? Do you think if i take it only at nightime I will still see side effects of weight gain? I am not willing to "experiment" and find out.
