I gave Remeron a short trial a while back myself, and did not give it long enough due to the sedation and fear of weight gain. I have read that by increasing the dose I may be able to avoid some of the weight gain and sedation associated with this drug. I wonder how one would know if they have that serious side effect of lowered immune responce. These meds all seem to have their negative traits, but it is all we have for now. I have tried all of the newer AD meds available in the US and found their side effects intolerable, from feeling like I had the flu and the sexual stuff...effexor, the sexual stuff...SSRI's including but not as pronounced with Serzone, Extreme agitation...Wellbutrin, and lastly Remeron, which I may have to fall back on if I can't keep my depression at bay with the help of my mood stabilizer and exercise. I also have to take lower doses of everything due to a medication sensitivity.
