"thay gave me remeron in the hospital. i took it for two and half years. it worked wonders for me i have no luck at all with ssri&#039;s. my doctor told me usually people that have no luck with ssri&#039;s usually have good luck with tetracyclic antidepressants. the only drawback is i gained 85 lbs, which needless to say did not help my self image. i&#039;m considering ludiomil (maprotiline)."
