"i started on zoloft, which only made the anxiety worse. got put on remeron after a hospital stay and it has changed my life. started at 15mg and then shortly after increasing to 30mg. i did gain 30lbs on it due to craving sweets constantly so i tried switching to effexor, only again having my anxiety going out of control again. i went back on remeron 30mg and i am back to my old self. i sleep very well on this medication which for me is so much nicer despite the weight gain."
