I'm assuming Zispin is Remeron? Did you have sleep problems before starting zispin? The extreme sleepiness decreases after a time, so you could be just getting used to it and back to your normal sleep schedule. But waking in the middle of the night, hmmmm, that's a little weird. Remeron has a short half life but not that short. Waking early and not getting back to sleep is a symptom of depression, so could it be you're still depressed? 15mg Remeron (zispin) is a very low dose.
About the eating - all I can say is 'watch out'. If you're a thin guy now, enjoy it while you can. If you're not exercising, by all means force yourself. Absolutely everyone I know of who'se taken Remeron has gained alot of weight. For some, it's been good cause they needed it. I gained 30 pounds which I didn't need. I stopped taking it about 1 year ago and only now am dropping the weight because I'm exercising like a maniac.
> hi i've just started taking Zispin ( as its called in scotland ) its kinda weird, all i want 2 do is eat which is maybe not a bad thing for me as i'm a fairly thin guy! was on venlafaxine b4 which was an absolute killer, i felt so nauseated all the time.The 1 question i would like 2 post is - is it commen 2 be awake in the middle of the night on zispin - initially in my first couple of weeks i was sleeping right thru not any more sleeping as soon as i take my 15mg at night then awake in the middle of the night.this is my 4th week on zispin
> anyways good luck unsure from scotland
