"i am writing to say do not judge by the experience of others - try it yourself.  in my case, after twenty years of stumbling daily through a heavy fog, unable to concentrate, loss of memory, no motivation. remeron gave me 8 hours of sleep a night, week after week, until i became a new person simply because my body was getting rest.  i made sure only healthy, healthy food was available in my house and did not have any weight gain at all.  for some people this will provide a miraculous turn around - try it like i did - two weeks will give you a good test, no need for six weeks like other drugs.  start on low dose, don&#039;t take it until bedtime, no matter what the doctor says.  good luck, hope it helps you too."
