I am on 45 mgs of remeron. I started using it for sleep. It is a great sleeper. Then my pdoc pushed the dose hoping for more AD effect. It never gave me any relief from my depression that I could tell. But I am now on Pristiq, had a really fast, positive response to 50 mg, the standard dose and then after about 2 months, a crash. I have just recently, about 10 days ago, upped my dose to 100mgs and am feeling better, though maybe a little agitated. But, back to your question about remeron: I never gained any weight on it and I am also taking 150 mgs (was 300mgs) of seroquel which does not make me hungrey but definitely screws up my sense of satiety. My pdoc thinks that the combination of remeron and pristq (effexor by any other name?) may be a good thing. I can only tell you that it didn't do much, if anything for my depression alone. Is it augmenting the pristiq? I dunno.
