My Experience on Remeron

I gained 45 lbs within 2 1/2 months (which I was underweight when I started but I gained too much weight). At first, this was the BEST depression med I'd ever been on. I was able to sleep at night, I didn't feel down all the time and I was eating normally. However, after about 9 months I began to experience aggitation- VERY EASILY aggitated over nothing at all. The only reason I've stayed on it is because if I'm not on it...I simply don't eat and will lose an unhealthy amount of weight. I also like that it helps me sleep through the night. But I recently weaned myself off it. My husband said he doesn't know what's going on but I'm a lot of fun to be around this week. I didn't tell him of the med changes. ( Now he knows and says stay off that) I give Remeron good and bad ratings. I think short term it is beneficial for certain people...like myself. However, after being off it for a week ....I feel energetic, happy and completely different. It seems it was becoming too much for my body. Like a heavy weight has been lifted. I'll keep it around in case my eating decreases again but I won't be dependent any longer.
