Actually, if you look at some of the other threads about Remeron, you'll see some of the information that you're looking for.

I've been on Remeron nearly a year now; up to 60 mgs. per day and holding -- doing quite well on it. BUT . . .increased hunger is definitely a side effect early on. Yes, you will feel like you are starving even though you just ate a banquet, I remember that. You're going to have to use your better judgement on food quantity instead of your sense of hunger for awhile. The increased hunger subsided with time and increase in dose.

That being said, I still gained 20 lbs. on this drug even though I don't overeat, I eat healthy most of the time, and I exercise. The 20 lbs. has remained stable -- no worse, no better. It is my opinion that my metabolism HAS changed. Not everyone on this message board agrees on that issue. Although I would prefer not to have the extra weight, this medication has helped me SO MUCH that I accept the trade-off. Being "well" for the first time in nearly 10 years is definitely worth 20 lbs.

Good luck to you.
