> yeah, i just started remeron 6 weeks ago now, and i've gained 14 pounds. i was put on it to replace trazodone to help me sleep at night....which it certainly does...i'm out for a good 10 hours on average. but i'm quite worried about the weight gain as i have no motivation to exercise or even walk my dog. i've also experienced an all over body ache (muscular), but mainly my back. i haven't had much success with any of the ssri's or effexor (made me a "bitch") but am also on wellbutrin which i've been on the max dose for 2.5 years now. i'm trying to get an appt. with my p doc asap....i feel like i just want to discontinue on my own, but i know i shouldn't.
How long did you try Effexor? It could very well have been the Wellbutrin that made you feel like a *itch; it does that to alot of people. It made me want to climb the walls...
Remeron is known to be a rather weak AD. It's great for sleep, but not as effective as and AD as it's usually taken at night. I gained 12 pound in 2 weeks that I still ahve not been able to take off after three months.
