Trazodone contributed only a bit to it, maybe gained 10 pounds or so here or there. Remeron was the awful culprit for weight -- I can't place an exact point when I started but a good 50 pounds I would say.
It helped immensly with my disorder like I thought it would -- my doctor didnt place as high a value on those transmitters but I do believe that the 5HT2 blockade that Remeron has secondarily to its alpha adrenergic action is similar to a neuroleptic without the dopamine blockade. Eventually weight though was a stopper for it after I reached a point where I felt while I wasn't clinically diabetic, I wasn't getting that far away from that range.
In a few weeks, I will be exiting the "obese" range of the BMI, if my excercise plan continues as it has. And this is weight that was put on quite a while back. The Seroquel is a bit of an additive so I will always have to excercise a bit to fight that off.
