Jujube,
Yes, it has been effective for both depression and anxiety -- for me. It may or may not for you, that's why we've all been on a long list of different drugs before finding one that works best (I too tried all the ones on your list.)
Most people gain weight on Remeron. How much weight depends on the individual. I gained 20 pounds, pretty much all in the beginnng, and haven't continued to gain. I don't like the extra weight, but it's better than being depressed. It also caused a lot of sleepiness and dizziness at first -- those side-effects decreased with time, but it can really wipe you out for the first few days.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your search.
Lynda
