Most definitely. I am on a high dose of 90mg and still have increased appetite. I watch what I eat and exercise daily. I am in the process of switching ADs and Remeron has got to go. It's either that or become blimp.

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.
