After trying 4 other drugs for depression, I finally got on this; and it works great! Depression has subsided, and I sleep much better and rise without a "hangover" feeling. No side effects that I can tell.

This drug is very dangerous -needs tobe takenoff the market. - 15 mg. caused depression 10 times worse than it was and took 2 days to recover from it. It actually gave me depression -the worst I ever had. DONT TAKE IT

I found that with this drug I could not function at all. I was tired all of the time. I was also angry and irritated all of the time. I was unable to work a full day and had difficulties taking care of my daughter. I also could not stop eating and was very thirsty all of the time.

This drug made it very difficult to wake and work a full day. Did not work with my depression at all. But a very excelant sleep aid. I would reccommend this drug to no combat vet.

I've only been taking remeron for over a month. I had increased my appetite, which I'm glad and slowly am starting to gain weight. But now that my dosage has increased to 45 mg I have been beginning to have nightmares. I have never been one for dreaming and especially not vivid dreams, but since the dosage increase, they have come every night.

I was on Remeron for about 3 wks before noticing significant weight gain. I've switched to Elavil but still have the weight.

I have gone from using Effexor to using this drug and found it has not helped. I have had increased irritability, uncontrolled anger, sleeplessness.
