Remeron and medications

I have been on Remeron for 3months, and have went from 125 lbs. to 144 lbs. I want to eat all the time, especially at night. I always feel hungry. I also feel like my legs are swollen, and they ache when I walk on the treadmill, trying to exercise and quit gaining. The depression is better, and I sleep very well, but I am going to really get depressed about my sudden weight gain. Never was this big, except at 9 months pregnant. I am stopping this drug. I also have numbness in my right hand. I don't know what that is from. Last of all, I am more forgetful, and a little OCD now about things.

I began 15mg of Remeron per day about 1 month ago. At first, it was wonderful. I slept better than I had in years and my depression was reduced greatly. I felt hope for the first time in ages. However, about a week into it, I started to become aggitated VERY easily. I would get angry at anything. This has not subsided at all...in fact, it's worse. Now I wake in the middle of the night with my mind racing and either in a rage or STARVING. I eat a lot. It's nice to have my appetite back, but I crave sweets too much. I can accept that symptom if it wasn't for the rage and inability to stop my mind from switching between utter numbness to anger. I'm going to give it longer, in the hopes that it brings me back to where I was when I started taking it. If this keeps up though, I'll be in trouble.

hey my name is kaylen and i have been taking remeron for about 5 months now. i liked it at first as it definetly helped me sleep soundly and not wake up to a throbbing head. i especially liked that it helped me to concentrate about 50% better than i had been after a sudden and unexplainable extremely deep depression. i have been diagnosed with bipolar and OCD and have been on a host of other medications but am now on lithium, klonopin, seroquel, and remeron. the thing that irritates me about remeron is how HUNGRY i have been. and its not even that...i eat when i am not hungry at all, i just cant stop it. i have gained 50+ pounds in 5 months and i cannot understand why this medicine has to have this effect. can anyone relate?
