I was on zoloft for 7 -8 yrs, and it just stopped working, usually someone is only on one anti-depressant but there are times when people have to be on a couple. I am on Remeron now, it doesn't make me tired anymore, i'm over the 6 week period, well I guess it does make me tired when I take it at night, but it isn't for sleep but for depression, GAD and PTSD. I don't know much about Bipolar Disorder, but I do know a couple people who are on a few different drugs to help with that. I also keep a track of my food and write it down, it could be the Remeron though. IT is known to cause weight gain, but it is only suppose to happen when you first start taking it, as a side effect. I use to be like 97lbs, and now up to like 108 lbs. I am wondering it is the Remeron, or being 24 my metabolisim is going downhill? I have been eating a bit too, and since this is also a bit of a concern for me, my psychiatrist is telling me to write down what I eat, how much I eat and the time. Trying to get myself into a healthy pattern.
