Hi yxibow!
>I guess my black box would be extreme weight gain....
WARNING: THIS DRUG MAY MAKE YOU FAT
>The movement disorder warning is curious because I read a short anectodal journal brief of a handful of patients treated in Israel for depression who lost or had reduced their neuroleptic induced movement disorders while and only while they were on Remeron. So I guess its a case of different strokes for different folks as they say.
It can sometimes help akathisia because it's a 5-HT2 antagonist....... but it can also make it worse because it's an NE alpha-2 antagonist.
Kind regards
~Ed
