I have been taking Remeron for about 14 months. I have gained about 12 pounds. It's almost like a compulsion to eat. Don't get me wrong I already liked to eat but at this point I have a crazy urge. I started having night sweats. I used to sleep with a lot of covers and that is ABSOLUTELY not possible any more. I've also noticed that I sweat more during the day. I was never a person who sweat a lot and this is totally new to me. But I sleep very soundly and that was the initial reason to start taking the meds.
