Instead she wants to start me on Remeron. I'm worried about the side effects of increase in appetite and drowsiness.

She says it's up to me to decide. I have asked her to see if there's something else she can prescribe.
Scooter, I was on Remeron for two years. Cannot recall the dose. It did help me sleep, but man, the next day was really hard sometimes. Super sleepy. Ate a lot. It did help my depression, but finally, the daytime drowsiness thing was just too much and we switched to Cymbalta, which worked pretty well. Sending you positive vibes. Med changes are never fun.
