"I was having a very hard time with the anxiety of thinking something was wrong with my heart (which turned out to be nothing), when I was put on Remeron.  I had virtually stopped eating, and just felt very anxious and not myself.  It helped a good bit with the anxiety, but it turbo charged my appetite.  Would not recommend this to anyone who is overweight, but it&#039;s great for anxiety sufferers who lose their appetite when they get anxious.  It does make you very sleepy the first week or so you take it, so I would take it before bed.  I didn&#039;t notice any sexual side effects though, which was another big selling point.  The sedation seems stronger at lower doses, and I had some bizarre dreams at lower doses as well."
