I suggest you talk to your doc about getting off of it.

Did the side effects ever wear off? And how many months did it take for you to go up 3 dress sizes? I've never had issues with weight before until now. I literally just started taking it 3 weeks ago, so I wanted to wait to see if the side effects wore off...I'm hesitant to go off of it so soon so I just want to know if the side effect of the weight gain will wear off. But if I'll keep having weight gain issues I may as well go off of it and try something else. Is there anything else similar to Remeron that you decided to take?
I'm like you; my stomach feels like it's stretching but as of recently my appetite is getting back to normal. I don't get it. It has me feeling down because I had high hopes for this drug. None of the others worked, except Wellbutrin (which I had to stop since it gave me seizures).
