I have not gained any weight either (on my eighth week currently), but have to eat every two to three hours because the drug has made my hypoglycemia worse. (I used to have to eat every four hours). I did not experience this on paxil or when on no medication.

There have been published cases of people suffering diabetic ketosis on Remeron, but it appears that was caused by exorbitantly high triglycerides (another rare side effect of remeron). One such case is listed at:
www.antideprressantsfacts.com/remeron-pancreatitis-diabetic.htm

The study suggests that all patients receiving remeron have serum glucose and triglyceride levels measured at baseline and monitored regularly thereafter. My pdoc has not done this and I will bring it up at our next meeting. Again, I am not having diabetic type symptoms(at least I hope not), I am having worsening of my hypoglycemia, to the point that I may not be able to stay on this drug. (Which does NOT make me happy. . .I don't have much left to try).

I am not knocking remeron at all. In fact, the reason I wanted to increase my dosage was because I had had good results on 15mg but still needed a little more. Also, I had heard that you actually get less side effects as you increase dosage. I guess I am one of the odd balls that doesn't respond to the drug that way.

Hope you have continued success on Remeron.
