Not sure you want to hear this, but yes, I had these exact same side effects on Remeron and I had to go off of it. I couldn't stand it. I thought the heel pain were heel spurs, but they weren't. I swelled up like a balloon on Remeron~and my joints ached like something else~just not the med for me but I wish you the best. Maybe you can ask your doc for Dyazide~a potassium-sparing diueretic to help with the edema-which is what it sounds like what you are experiencing~just a guess.
Take care:-)
> I have been taking Remeron (30 mg) for a couple of months. Lately I have noticed that my ankles/feet are swollen. I am wondering if this is a common side effect. I spoke with a Dr. and he recommended that I go for a blood test to check my kidney function which I have booked to do. The kidney function is a trigger for me because I only have one kidney due to cancer and now I have a tumor on the remaining one. I am hoping that the swelling is due to the remeron. Another problem that popped up 2 days ago is that I have a sore spot on the bottom of my heal that makes it painful to walk. Could this be another reaction? Other than these two problems I am hopeful about remeron because I am now interested in my hobbies again (it has been a couple of years) and I am not as tired during the day as I was on serzone. Has anyone out there had any of these side effects?
