I have taken Remeron for 4 1/2 years now. I have taken either 37.5 or 45 mg. a night (37.5 if I can't sleep as well, 45 if I feel a bit of depression creeping back in).
I have major depression and mild-moderate OCD. Both conditions are greatly helped by this drug. I have gained a dress size over the last 5 years, but I can't blame that all on Remeron.
Oh, by the way, has anyone heard of a drug being used in Europe that is "Remeronish without the side-effects"? My sister's pdoc mentioned the name to her but she can't remember. Just curious.
Remeron has been great for me...the increased appetite isn't too bad above 30mg according to my pdoc. He also said Remeron doesn't seem to "poop out" over time like the SSRIs sometimes do. I have to agree. This drug has helped to transform my life.
Big thumbs up for Remeron. Best wishes.
