> I was wondering if you experienced any night sweating from the seroquel? It sounds like you may be having some type of thermogenesis reaction to the seroquel or the effexor. The seroquel may even be boosting effexor. But I can't find any studies on seroquel and thermogenisis but there are light studies I have found that report some very basic information on seroquel effecting a persons weight loss.

Because if theres anything anything about Remeron it's that it makes you eat and sleep REALLY well!Oh I did experience freaky night sweats ... I would wake up wet from head to toe ... shiverring in my bed ... but it only lasted for two weeks or so.
Its kind of hard to tell if I'm "warmer" than usual as its the summer but I do seem to be drinking lots more water than before. I used to get by on 2 or 3 cups of jolt per day and now its like I'm downing 1L of water per day ... and if I don't I wake up with terrible headaches from dehydratation.
I'm waiting to see if it will stabilize. According to the BMI chart, I'm not underweight unless I slip below the 100 so I've got a 5 pounds "buffer" ... I figure it might also be from the jitterness that I feel ... like i'm constantly moving my legs and such. Who knows, maybe it burns calories or something.
