I really loved it. The higher the dose the less weight gain there is and the less sedation (but more antidepressant action). I've been on it a few times and after the first asked to just jump quickly to a higher dose to avoid weight gain although honestly I only gained 5 lbs. on 30 mgs.

I don't think this is scientifically possible but I really think it acted as a mild mood stabilizer for me during my last year of grad school. Things were coming undone and I think that remeron kept me together enough to function. When I stopped it I started having a lot more symptoms.

I thought it was a good drug but once I was diagnosed with bipolar it didn't work anymore with a 3rd or 4th trial of the drug.
