"i&#039;m in the marine corps, and i&#039;ve been on remeron for a little over a month now for anxiety, depression and insomnia, and gained 15 lbs.  i get about 8 hrs of sleep a night.  but, if you have a job that requires you to be a certain weight i would advise you to ask the doctor for something else.  i quit taking it because of that and literally cannot sleep again because i have to &quot;weigh in&quot; soon.  now i&#039;m back to not sleeping and i literally have not eaten for 3 days just so i can make the right weight.  wish me luck!"
