> I think you should try Remeron anyway, regardless of weight gain. I think you would definitely have a chance of relief with Remeron.
I totally agree with you. I think that weight gain is secondary, and if the medication helps with the depression then I will be able to tackle the weight gain issue. I.e. I will hopefully have a lot more motivation/energy than I do at the moment (zero).
> I started Remeron at 60 mg right away and had no side-effects. I had no weight gain or sedation during the day.
Did Remeron help with your depression?
> Here are the benefits of Remeron:

> --It may improve libido and sexual performance (its the only medication that improves mine). Dr. Bob Hsieung's fellow doctors recommend it for sexual dysfunction.
> --You can take Remeron with most antidepressants except MAOIs.
> --It has none of the anticholinergic???
effects of SSRIs.
> --It has gained recognition as a very useful medication from psychiatrists in only four years of FDA approval.
