Hi: Zannah
I have been on the remeron for 10 days.
I was previously on Efforx which worked on both the depression and anxiety but because of side effects (night terrors, and Sexual disfunction) I supidly took myself off. When I tried going back on effor on my own the axiety came back. My pdoc says the anxiety is due to my depression. I will be seeing my pdoc tomorrow and will see what comes of it. I have not had any problem with the eating yet but I have been reading a lot of problems with eating from other people.
When I was on effox for four years I was also put on estrogen because it was possible some of the problems may stem from menopause (am 50). But the gyn I was seeing is not longer practing so I am also going to see a new Gyn at the end of the month to have all my hormones tested. Hope fully something will come of all this.

Sincerly May
