In my opinion (I've been on Remeron for nearly 2 years now), this is a drug you HAVE to give some time to really know if it's going to work for you or not. The start-up side-effects are awful -- almost made me quit. The weight-gain is a real bummer. But it gave me my life back -- there's no denying that for me. It obviously isn't going to do that for everyone -- not everyone is the same. It turned out to be the right chemical whatever that my head needed to straighten out -- but I wouldn't have known that if I didn't give it plenty of time to work. I seem to remember being less inhibited at first too (getting angry and letting it show). I seem to remember a significant lessening of my anxiety within the first month or two, I really wasn't sure WHAT it was doing for me during the first couple of weeks, that just isn't enough time -- there's still alot of the start-up side-effects going on during that time.
