> Wow, okay. I only said about being brave, coz I know that - even with it only being due to drugs - some people have major issues with telling people how much weight they gained or just generally how much they weigh.

No, it's not. I am what I yam. ;-)

> I read somewhere that Remeron was initally designed to help depressed people, who have poor sleep and a poor appetite, to regain both of these. And that it actually affectsd something in your stomach (eek, don't press me to be more specific, I don't know the details) so that you get hunger pangs even when you are not techincally "hungry". Hmm. But did you not feel more hungry than usual?

Oh, yes. Much more hunger. But I did not substantially change my intake.

> If you dont mind me asking, how much did you weigh before starting remeron? Were you naturally slim or bigger?

I'm a big lad. (I literally was Hoover the Mover. I moved pianos and such for a living.) Ideally, I'd be about 175 lbs. (at this age, being less active). When I went on Remeron, I was at 185. I ballooned to 217, and those 217 weren't located where they had been, back in my prime. Yikes!
