Depression
"Although I can&#039;t take tricyclics, I can take Remeron. I have treatment resistant depression and this is the only anti-depressant I can tolerate (I have been on every type of anti-depressant except Wellbutrin). I don&#039;t know why it works so well on me, but it saved my life. My weight had gotten down to 112lbs (I&#039;m 5&#039;7) and I looked like a corpse. I&#039;ve been on it for a good 8 years or so and it still helps me sleep. The hunger side effect subsided for the most part...a good thing because I gained too much weight back at first, then leveled out at 130lbs. Some of my family have tried it and it knocks them out for the night and next day. Also, they&#039;ve complained of a &quot;hangover feeling&quot; after they wake up. Many doctors told me it&#039;s a good medicine."
