"i&#039;ve been on effexor for several years and suffered severe sexual effects so went to the doc and he started me on remeron. for the last three years i&#039;ve been training cardio 5-6 times  a week, had lost 10 kg and feeling quite proud of my body. now at just over three months on remeron i started feeling my clothes getting tighter, am feeling fat, bloated and lethargic. i can&#039;t train with the intensity i am  used to and just want to go to bed earlier and earlier. i weighed myself the other day and to my horror found i&#039;d put on 11 kg. i don&#039;t feel i&#039;ve been eating much more than i used to. of course the realization that i&#039;ve lost everything i&#039;ve worked for in recent years has made me feel pretty bad, and  i&#039;m not sure i want to continue."
