I have taken Remeron for 2 years and 5 months -- at 45 for about a year and at 30 for about a year. Back down to 15, and I am just now finally losing weight.

Hi...just wondering how much weight you gained in total on Remeron(if you don't mind my asking.) I have now tipped the scales at 20 pounds in 14 weeks. Going to my pdoc this week and am going to inquire about the Wellbutrin, as you suggested in a prior post, but was wondering if Wellbutrin helped with weightloss at all or just going back to the lower dose of Rem.? I'm seeking help for the morning cob webs, etc., hence the Wellbutrin question...if you can figure this out, please reply!
Thanks!
Jane
