I was recently on Remeron for about 3 months. It worked for my anxiety and insomnia for the first few weeks, but started fizzling out. I gained quite a bit of weight, almost 30lbs. I think that was more damaging to me that the anxiety and the insomnia. I was hungry more and I did have different types of cravings, but I usually ignored them. I didn't change how I ate and I continued to excercise the way that I had, but I still gained weight.

The drug does work for many people, but I was one of those that had the nasty side effect of weight gain.

I don't want it to seem like you shouldn't take it, but you should definitely be made aware of the possibilities - I was not and I was really mad at my pdoc for that.

I hope it works for you and that you don't have any negative side affects.
