It also came with a warning to use gloves when applying it so as not to get absorbed into your skin and mess with your mental health.
But of course, I'm on Seroquel, and I don't gain weight on it while lots of others do. I thought Remeron was even more of a weight gainer than Seroquel, but everyone's different. |
I've been taking remeron for years and it hasn't been a problem, even at the very beginning. Everyone's different I guess.
The pharmacy called and is an over the counter iron supplement. That's good because I know of one that works well for me - a liquid that doesn't cause me constipation. Expensive, but that's how it goes.
My sleep is really bad, I'm getting just 4 hours. This has been such a problem for the past 5-6 years. My pdoc doesn't give me anything for it, we wait it out. It eventually passes but it's hard to go through it.
Doctors here generally don't prescribe meds for sleep. Similar to how they avoid benzos.
