Has anyone ever experienced this - to this extent? I have always loved sweets and continue to have chocolate, etc., but not an absolutely enormous amount. I do some form of aerobic exercise at for 30-45 minutes at least three times per week (I started 3 days after I began taking Remeron because I did not want to gain weight- I'm already overweight). My question is this: I am eating the same and have added exercise, but I continue to gain 3 to 5 pounds PER WEEK. Isn't this completely counter-intuitive? Does this drug just shut down your metabolism or what? I am up 15 pounds in 4 weeks but the drug is working. I just can't wear any of my clothes - frustrating, especially since I have a history of eating disorders (which my MD is aware of). Ideas? Help?

the two big reasons for getting remeron are sleep disturbance or depression and there are alternates to both, talk to your doctor, good luck
