I believe carb cravings and associated munching are part of the weight gain. But I swear Rmeron tweaked my metabolism. I gained 5 lbs in 2 weeks when I started Remeron. I gained a pound and a half from one (not very large) dinner alone. I couldn't believe it. I immediately started eating less than before the med, counted calories, increased fruit and veggies, upped my excercise, and was able to *halt* the weight gain. With those changes, without the drug, I'd have been rapidly disappearing! And I was hungry all the time. When I stopped the drug I actually ate more and dropped a few pounds in 3 weeks.
