> I forgot to tell you I didn't gain any weight on remeron/lex. I lost 15lbs. when I got sick & have managed to keep it off. At first the remeron increased my appetite so I chewed lots of gum but that eventually went away. I also walk 3 miles 6 days a week & recently joined Curves.

I was planning to just start the Lexapro alone for a couple of weeks and then add the Remeron if necessary. I wanted to try it that way so that if I had side effects I could tell where they were coming from. I'm hoping not to have the start up anxiety from Lex since I've already been on Celexa for several months now.
Thanks for all the info. I'm glad to hear you didn't have weight gain with Remeron. That part scared me - not just the gain, but the fear that food cravings would wake up my bulimia (which is currently in remission).
