> It is probably the remeron but I am not sure why. I was very irritable on the drug and it seemed to mess with my blood sugar. Does it cause you anxiety too? I have weaned off of it twice and currently have been off for 5 weeks. I had to eat every two hours or I felt terrible. I have read remeron affects the adreanl glands and dumps a lot of adrenalin in the system but again, not sure if this is true. Regards

Hi there, Johnny. I seem to have stabilized, mood-wise, quite a bit over the past several days, according to my daily charting, and how I notice I'm feeling. I am being extra careful to eat *something* every 4 hours or so, and my inclination is to eat something sweet, which makes sense since my energy level has been so low with the Remeron, too. I've switched to fruits and nuts from the less healthy choices and my weight gain has slowed, if not stopped. I'm not inclined to step on a scale at the moment, but my clothes still fit!

But I think I'm getting used to the 30mg Remeron dose. I've been on it for 16 days now and my sleeping patterns are returning to normal, my general level of awakeness is better, and the anger is nowhere near as hair-trigger as it had been. I can't say that my anxiety has increased with being on the Remeron; if anything, it has lessened slightly if only because I've been too darn tired to be anxious about much.

I'm glad I've stuck with it because if I took the first several days as an indicator of how I was responding to the medication, I would have stopped it altogether. I think it's working out well for me.

Thanks,
ClearSkies
