high doses probably equal less weight gain

Remeron is unlike other anti-depressants in that the higher the dose, the less the sedation. I found that 45 mg is tolerably (slightly) sedating & 60 mg is not sedating at all & somewhat energizing. 60 or 75 mg of remeron per day would probably result in little or no weight gain but will not help you sleep at those doses. At higher doses the norepinephrine agonist effect cancels out the antihistamine (drowsiness) effect of the drug.

> I'm pretty convinced this is all my GP will suggest once again since I was on it last time. I stopped it because of weight gain (20 pounds in 2 months). Any ideas how I can either 1. change her mind (because i was only on it because I was suicidal and made me sleep so I felt a bit better) or 2. stop gaining weight and lose it if I go back on it
