Hi Lois,
I decided I'm going to give this remeron a chance.
If this appetite thing doesn't stop, I have to ask for something else. Usually if I eat protein the hunger pangs go ahead, but they haven't.
Beside sleeping pretty okay most of the night, I actually dream!
I usually don't have dreams unless it's a nightmare. The latest dreams have been very vivid and weird, not nightmares. My little boy woke me up because he heard me struggling in the dream.
If this is how dreams usually are, I rather not have them. With Tradazone, I didn't remember a thing, but it took me longer to get it together in the morning and I needed to fill up on coffee to be productive. I don't feel that way on the
remeron. I'm pretty refreshed in the morning.Sweet Dreams!
