Earthmama,

Hi. I think your hunger is a combo of the med and the workout. When I started remeron for the first time I also started lifting weights. I gained over ten pounds, but it was mostly muscle. Even when I was not on remeron and I was working out a few years back I was always hungary. More muscle = increased burning of calories and muscle weighs more than fat too. Trying getting some high fiber to make you feel full. I am having some stomach upset on remeron this time, but I have a problem not being able to eat when my anxiety depression worsens.
I love the anxiety relief remeron gives too.

I have two side effects that bother me more than weight gain. Some spacey, unable to focus my eyes, and pressure on my forehead. But, without this drug I wouldn't be able to work. One more note, I once went off remeron and it was so easy. I weaned down over a few days and had ZERO side effects. My depression just came back later. I don't know if I helped at all, but remeron is pretty damn good if you can take the side effects. I have come to the realization that I would rather be fat(IF I don't excercise) than unemployed. Take care
johnj
