It didn't do anything noticeable for me, although I may not have given it enough of a chance (about 30 days -- marginal). I do know people who've found it very effective. Some people gain weight as a side effect. I didn't have this problem.
Remeron tends to be more sedating at low doses (7.5-15 mg), and my pdoc says that he generally starts people at 30 mg in order to avoid this side effect. It's possible that the weight gain becomes less of a problem at higher doses, although that's not as clear.
