The only drawbacks i had with Remeron was weight gain (evening munchies), and occasional sleep paralysis. Over-all i rate Remeron as a very effective antidepressant. I wish you good luck.

I forgot to add the wonderful and sometimes scary effects of sleep paralysis.. If I fell asleep on a couch or some way that I couldn't get up, I would try to fight it and it was rather scary. Of course, if you don't fight it, you gradually wake up (or drop out to sleepland), but I have that fight or flight instinct.
But the ones that occurred in sleep to wake where I wasn't fighting it were the most interesting psychoactive response since I took Ambien (only one time, it said "come to sleep, its okay" as a feeling -- never again) -- as I woke up there was a brzzzzap! like a bee buzz and I saw the "last image" from my optic nerve placed above me as if it was a comic strip from a dream, as I awoke. And I've never done illicit substances but that was both minorly disturbing and yet powerfully fascinating. Sometimes it would happen multiple times in a row before I woke up completely, leading to multiple sub-dreams and these "comic strips" as a passing image. This persisted for weeks while I adjusted to the medication, in fact it never completely went away.-- tidings
