insomnia
"I have been taking Remeron for a year for my severe insomnia. it works great for sleep for the first 2 days for me. I now take it with melatonin and I'm able to sleep. Downside is that I gained 37 pounds on this med in a year. 8 pounds got put on in the first 12 days. I barely eat now and my weight still increases. so I have begun tapering off of this medication and will be going back to Vistaril. The Remeron isn't worth the damage to my overall health. I am a naturally skinny person who can eat anything i want and not gain. This medication affects your metabolism. It is not just increased appetite. I was a size 0-3 when I started. I'm now size 11. I would only recommend this as a temporary fix."
