In reply to Quit remeron and am finally losing the weight!!!!, posted by KindGirl on May 30, 2004, at 14:29:08
I was on Remeron for about 2 1/2 years. I gained about 40 pounds on it. I did Atkins, lost some of the weight and promptly put it all back on. I watched my health decline on this med and finally had to make the choice to stop it. At the rate I was going I knew I was going to continue to get larger and larger. Now that I have been off it for a few months the weight is starting to come off, without dieting or exercise. The bloating and water retention is also gone for the most part. I would advise anyone on this med or starting this med to moniter your weight closely. Unfortunately this med was the best for me by far, but sometimes your physical health is just as important and their are alternative meds to try. Thanks for sharing your weight loss story, I am sure it will give others encouragement that are battling the same thing.
