I was on 30 mg of remeron for 7 months for depression. This drug is a nightmare! Severe cravings for sweets, and an unsatified hunger that nothing seemed to please me at night, munched about anything. I gained weight and slept through about anything at all. 3 months ago I developed a constant anger/rage feeling, and I was ready to take on anybody who crossed me. Sometimes I even became violent, I would break things, scream and yell at my BF for no reasons at all. BF left a few times, and friends stopped coming around. I felt like I was going insane. I would be happy one minute, and then either angry or sad and crying for no reason at all. I have started to ween myself off this drug for 8 weeks. I DO NOT recommend remeron.

I have been taking Remeron for two weeks and have gained 15 pounds. I no longer have the ability to tell when I am full until it is way past too late. I have exercised every day since I've been on the medication except one, and even this hasn't stopped the pounds from accumulating.

I HAVE HAD NO REAL SIDE EFFECTS EXCEPT INCREASE IN APPETITE AND WEIGHT GAIN. I WAS PUT ON THIS DRUG BECAUSE I HAD HORRIBLE STOMACH PAINS LIKE AN ULCER, BUT FOUND OUT IT WAS STRESS. THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT DRUG FOR ME AS FAR AS NO STOMACH PAINS, NO PMS, OR HEADACKS. I JUST DON'T LIKE THE WEIGHT, I WAS 118 POUNDS NOW I AM 125 AND FEEL HEAVY. I TRY TO CUT BACK ON EATING BUT THAT DOSN'T STOP THE WEIGHT. AND I GET FOOD CRAVINGS AND ITS ALWAYS THE JUNK FOOD. I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO GO BACK TO FEELING SICK OR JUST PUT UP WITH FEELING FAT!

weight gain, very vivid dreams, difficulty falling asleep after being on drug for over one year, tired feeling throughout the day, minimal relief from depression, weight gain is the worst-never had this problem before, no energy to exercise.

Yes, a definite weight gain. About 14 pounds in the past
year. Dieting and excercise have not phased the pounds.
He also has the very vivid dreams, more like nightmares. Feels tired throughout the day, cannot wait for bedtime, but, has no trouble falling asleep and sleeps very sound.

I was taking remeron sol-tabs (15mg) once at night for mild depression and inability to sleep. I have gained about 15 lbs. I stopped taking 3 weeks ago.....and have had extreme irritability ever since......Very disturbing.....But frankly...I would rather be irritable than continue to gain weight.....Bad news this drug.....they say I am in a minority....but I believe that is not the case...I have seen too many people post issues w/ weight gain.....Being and getting fat is depressing........
