"i was seriously depressed! thought i would never be the same. remeron has been a lifesaver! it took 2 weeks before i started to feel the effects and at 5 weeks i feel like my old self. side effects for me were sleepiness in the first week and has not been bad since. a few headaches and alot of eating, but i need the weight anyways. don&#039;t let the weight side effects keep you from trying remeron. they will subside. give this medicine a try. well worth it."
