> Yes, I noticed a profound increase in humor with Remeron (mirtazipine). Also made me much more sociable & sexual... If only the downside - horrendous weightgain - wasn't so strong!

> MariaMaria, I have noticed this effect with mirtazapine 45mg. QHS. You hit the nail on the head; the weight gain is so bad off that I have an appointment with a consultant at The Wellness Center about how to mitigate the weight gain caused by mirtazapine (dietary changes, supplements, exercises, etc.) so I can manage my weight while continuing mirtazapine therapy. I've gained 50lbs. and I was in shape before Remeron. I hope that the life coach approach can allow me to lose weight and keep taking it, I really like mirtazapine now that the H1 antagonism no longer causes daytime sedation, only at night when I need it. It's the most effective antidepressant I take.
