> I've been on 15 mg of remeron on and off for about 2 years now. I keep going back to it for great sleep but do find it makes me gain weight. When my weight goes up about five pounds I go off it and use 5htp for sleep. This acts also a bit like an appetite suppressant as well. Unfortunately it is not as good as the remeron for sleep. My question to the group is this - if Zantac is indeed effective - why don't more individuals do this? I have heard so very few say they actually try it. I think I will however and after my trial period I'll report back to tell my results. Thanks.MoBe
