You're not alone. I'm going back on Remeron again as well. My suicidal thoughts were just getting too strong for me to control for much longer....and Remeron is the ONLY med I've ever tried (and I've been placed on about a billion, at last count (ha)) that broke the bridge between suicidal thought and suicidal action. I think it should be called the anti-suicide med.
Anyways, maybe we can help each other with the weight control. I went from size 7/8 to size 16 in 2 years. How about yourself?? And it has nothing to do with modifying my diet, as someone so helpfully suggested to me recently on another list I belong to. It has to do with edema, the evil I call "The Remeron Hunger", and also the snail-paced metabolism. You could probably eat one cookie at the start of the month, and FINALLY get it metabolised by the end of the month! Lol! But really......will-power is not the main factor in keeping your figure, is it?
I'm going back on Monday night since my little girl is visiting this long weekend. She's coming today at suppertime!!! Yippee!! I look forward to having her here! So maybe we can help each other SOMEHOW with being on this med.
Hope to hear back from you. Don't be sad. Sometimes we just have to do things that we honestly don't like the thought of, BUT.....it's for the best in the long run. And also remember....when you're stablized on the Remeron again, you will get your clear-thinking back again. That HAS to be a bonus, right??
Hugs,
Sandy
