"had a deep depression combined with insomnia. i was helped from the first day with remeron, it was an incredible feeling! the side effect is increased appetite. but since i know it&#039;s a side effect i can control it. it&#039;s better to feel hungry than to feel like the end is near ... have been on it for a month now and still fall a sleep as a baby after less then 30 minutes when taken the pill. my doctor recommends that i continue with it for approximately 4 more months and then lower the dose (from 30 to 15 mg) and phase it out after a month or so. let&#039;s see what happens, but it&#039;s really great now!"
