Yes, I have noticed that I want to binge at night. I get 'chocolate crazies' just like I used to get when I went premenstrual. Do you suggest the dexedrine or other stim to block the appetite? Have you had success with such?
> Remeron blocks the 5ht3 receptor which is nausea, appetite, thus causing one to eat more. Yes, its bad , but i feel so much better, thus working out more. Stick with a high protien low carb diet. No saturated fats. When you get hungry, eat salad, fruits, etc. Remeron makes you very hungry and binge. esp at night. i gained 15lbs from it, but feel much better. yes if i go off remeron, i will loose wieght, and appettie, but all my anxiety and depression returns and i feel like hell, thus not doing much of anything but lay in my house and veg.
> adding a stimulant such as desipramine, or dexadrine may help alot, and not cause anxiety like ephedrine or welbutrin
