depression
"I've been taking this medication for approximately 3 years now.  For all who are upset with the weight gain and sleepiness, it doesn't last forever.  I think I gained about 10-15 lbs in my first few months, but I've managed to lose it all.  Now I am only sleepy right after I take it (at bedtime) and I wake up feeling rested without the hangover.  It's definitely levelled off my depression, and I feel normal.  If you can get past the first few weeks, this medication is a life saver.  I truly forgot that this medication even has side effects, since I've been on it so long.  Also, I tried the SSRI/SNRI route first.  On Zoloft, I would've made a great cast member for the Walking Dead.  I've never felt more like a zombie. Remeron is the best!"
