"was on remeron for 3 months. it worked at first as i noticed anxiety lessening, but after three months it has lost it&#039;s efficacy. my anxiety skyrocketed, and remeron has done nothing for it. thank goodness i didn&#039;t have any side effects from the remeron, aside from increased appetite. i think remeron should be used for depression and not anxiety, so if anxiety is your major issue i&#039;d go with an ssri."
