Regardless of whether you will gain weight on Remeron or not, I ask you to consider it, because it is perhaps the best medication that has come out in the last 5 years. And I will explain why:
Here are the benefits of Remeron:--It can be used for all types of depression, anxiety, OCD, and insomnia.
--It is convienient because it is taken only once at bedtime.
--It may improve libido and sexual performance (its the only medication that improves mine). Dr. Bob Hsieung's fellow doctors recommend it for sexual dysfunction.
--You can take Remeron with most antidepressants except MAOIs.
--It has none of the anticholinergic effects of SSRIs.
--It has gained recognition as a very useful medication from psychiatrists in only four years of FDA approval.I myself started Remeron at 60 mg right away and had no side-effects. I had no weight gain or sedation during the day.
