I gained about 25 pounds on Remeron. For me, it wasn't so much increased "appetite", as in a desire to eat more, it was about a gnawing in my stomach that wouldn't go away unless I ate something. I know that's known as hunger, but I didn't perceive it as such at the time. I just wanted the pain in my stomach to go away. Often I ate even though I consciously didn't want to---I mean I had no desire for food. Food seemed more like medication! I'm not explaining this well, I see. However, I slept wonderfully! And the first 15 pounds came off effortlessly when I quit Remeron. (I took 30mg a day, plus Effexor.)
