In reply to Remeron Making Me Fat!, posted by Phillipa on March 14, 2005, at 13:04:20
> Help! I've been taking l5mg of remeron at night along with the l0mg of valium to help sleep. I don't really know if it helps or not. I'm sleeping that's what counts. Anyway I'm getting fat. My jeans don't fit and the scale is going up. I'm too old to gain wt, and I excercise daily. I know valium doesn't make you fat. Do you think it's the low dose remeron? Can I give it up? Do I have to wean off of it? I will be losing the medication portion of insurance at the end of the month and would like to give up anything I don't need. I can't say I've noticed anything from the drug. What should I do? Fondly, Phillipa
I gained more weight from Remeron than any other drug. It *does* provide awesome sleep, though. I stopped it a couple of times cold with no withdrawals (in fact I experienced a mood lift). You might have insomnia return after stopping it though...
