Well I was wrong. I have experienced weight gain and sedation with remeron, it's just very subtle. It sort of feels like needing a 4th meal after dinner. I've been trying to control myself and exercise. At first I noticed I went from 200lbs to 207. Tonight after I've exercised the last two days and been careful it was 203.
Also there is still some sedation in the moring. I might have to start taking it sooner so I don't get up late. I went to sleep last night around 1 and had to be up for work at 8:30. I thought I would just lay back down for 10 mins. I woke up again and it was 9:25. Luckily I had everything I needed for work done the night before, so I was only a few minutes late. The side effects from remeron are subtle but they're there. I'm still waiting for some good effects from this med.
