Will it be like this the whole time I'm on it? Do these side effects go away with a higher dose, or in time? I would be willing to go up to 45 or 60 MG if it might help! It's the worst at night, especially since that's when I work out, and I'm ravenous afterwards. I do 60 minutes of cardio (running, elliptical, stationary bike) and lift weights before my cardio usually. I've started really limiting my carbs and I eat really well. Lots of soy products, veggies and lean protiens. But, I am 10 lbs heavier than BEFORE I started working out (could it be muscle gain? I don't know.) My clothes still fit, so I'm not sure if it's just coincidental, but it's also around the same time that I started taking the Remeron. I started lifting weights seriously about this time also (aproximately a month ago). My hunger is crazy, I feel like I could eat forever, and never really feel full. Will this last the whole time I'm taking remeron or can I look forward to feeling normal again? It's really helped with my anxiety, but I don't know if this is a fare trade-off. All I can think about is food, and what I will eat next, even as I'm eating! I've never had this problem.
I've worked really hard to get back into shape after having two babies, and I know that weight gain will only depress me more. I had severe PPD starting when Lorien was just 6 weeks old and was on Paxil for a year but hated the side effects (loss of libido, ringing in ears, tightness in my head....)
Any positive experiences here, or am I doomed to get fat no matter what I do?
HELP!
Cheers,
Kyah :)
