"i&#039;ve been taking remeron for a few weeks, doctor prescribed it for major anxiety and sleeplessness, as well as depression. he also thought it would help with weight gain, which i needed. has helped with everything but the depression. anxiety has mostly subsided to the point where i&#039;m not paralyzed. have gained about 5 lbs in the past two weeks, and my sleep is uninterrupted. was very groggy in the morning at first until 10 or 11 am but that&#039;s gotten slightly better over time. depression has not subsided, considering asking for something else to help with that."
