In your experience, did your appetite lessen or increase as you went up in dose. Does dry mouth lessen when you go up?

On remeron I had the hunger for several months so I chewed gum & drank lots of water. I haven't gained any weight. I was afraid when I added lex I would gain but so far I haven't. But I do have the belly-which I don't like.
