I don't come here often but wanted to tell you guys that I was on remeron for one month and put on 15 pounds. I am not overweight to begin with, but 15 pounds makes me out of the healthy range for me. I was very distraught over this, the hunger and cravings on remeron were hellish, and I tried everything I read here to stop the cravings. I even joined weight watchers, followed the diet, and put on weight!!!!!!! Now, that is depressing.
I weaned myself off of it and went to pdoc who upped my wellbutrin xr or xl or whatever it is to 450 mg...the max dosage.
I am not sure if it is the wellbutrin or weight watchers 3 weeks now but I can feel the weight falling off of me finally.!!!!!!!!!!
The only snag is the depression/anxiety symptoms are back....waking at night, crying more. I just couldn't hand the weight gain, though.
Just wanted to share my success in getting the weight off. It was really getting to me.
