> I was prescribed Remeron for insomnia ONLY. Not depression or anything else. Does this make sense to you?

Yeah, it's a great sleep drug, but at sedating doses it tends to cause appetite increase.

> Also, my doc said the lower the dose, the more sleepy you are. This true?

Yup! Remeron is a strong antihistamine, which is what causes the weight gain and sedation. The adrenergic effects kick in at higher doses and soon overwhelm the antihistaminic effects.
