Marfaith, that is my biggie, the sleep is so good it is like being a baby again! My other problem is that I can't stand xanax, I feel sedated when on it, benzos do not generally agree with me. I also heard that the side effects lessen with higher dosages, but, I have not experienced that despite having gone from 15 to 45.
PB thanks for the male point of view, perhaps it does work differently on men than women, it would not be the first med. BUT, water retention is this not! I know water retention and what I have is weight gain! But as said, men tend to hold less water so you may be experiencing this. As for your theory on pills not putting on weight, of course no pill causes fat, but I can assure you I eat less than half the junk I ate pre- remeron and have gained so much weight. I think it does change your metabolism as well as the distribution of fat.
I tend to be curious about the amount of women who, like me, are getting fat around the middle. I know there are disorders which tend to do that, if I recall both liver troubles and some other disorders are associated with fat in this area, I wonder if there could be changes systemically in our bodies?
