Hi,
Yes I took T3 together with Remeron and ranitidine. I have hypothyroidism so hence the T3. It didn't make any difference it weight nor mood, but it might to a person without thyroid troubles.
Cheers,

That's the thought, i.e. I have been using H2 blockers like ranitidine and famotidine(Pepcid, which I prefer) for acid reflux which I get sometimes from hypnotics, but not long term. I have never thought of ranitidine as a way of avoiding weight gain, I thought the problem was changes in the regulation of body fat. I will maybe give it a try as I'm gaining weight every day.
