 5  Anxiety, Depression The Ultimate Solution! For years was like taking ecstacy, Then things slowly changed but I was dependent on Mirtazapine. I became sicker and sicker and nearly died. Extreme difficulties withdrawing, Three others I know who take/took this drug. One can no longer work, is in a psychiatric ward with ECT the only remaining option as her neuropsychopharmacological regimen is maxed out, One has been diagnosed with late stage dementia for a long time and doctors at his hospice can't work out why he is still alive, Another is under a truck. Give it a whirl. A guaranteed adventure like no other! M 43 10 years

 1  DEPRESSION This worked great BUT I gained 20 lbs the first month. I did not think my doctor would believe me but when I told him he said, "oh, that's not so bad, I had one patient gain 40 lbs the first month!" WHY? didn't he tell me? Why did he prescribe it? I was fat already and gaining more did nothing to help my depression-BUT, amazingly this stuff did help me feel less depressed but if I stayed on this stuff, I'd probably weigh 500 lbs by now and I could never be happy about that. Why can't they develop an antidepressant that makes you lose weight or is weight neutral? If you are sad and need to gain weight-this is the drug for you! But if you are struggling with weight issues-stay away. I WISH I could take this drug. I have been on practically every drug out there and this one really worked but I'd rather be depressed and thin than fat and "happy" because I could never be truly happy if I was fat. With all the stuff they have invented-I cannot keep up with techno This would be the answer for anorexics! F 59 60 days

 3  Depression. Anxiety. Drugged feeling.Weight gain. Remeron helped with anxiety and seemed to be helping overall with mood. The weight gain it caused - despite eating very little - produced the exact opposite of what we were trying to achieve however. A relapse of my eating disorder. The persistant and unremitting weight gain was beyond anything I could tolerate at that time in my hard earned recovery. F 45 6 months

 4  Depression Initially started at 30mg. Tried it for a month but very angry and irritable. Cut down to 15mg and only side effects are 10lb weight gain and some difficulty waking. 30mg was horrible, but 15mg is helping substantially. The best improvement is that I don't ruminate on suicide continuously, have fewer intrusive thoughts and cry less. I've had major depression on/off since childhood and after losing my father recently I went into a really dark spiral of suicidal ideation and self-harm. Adding Remeron to my other meds has helped me tremendously. I'm able to concentrate and work without constantly thinking of suicide and seeing everything as futile. M 44 3 months

 4  Depression Lots of side effects initially. Fatigue, irritability, headache, upset stomach, restless legs. These all went away or became less noticeable after the first week. The side effects were rough for the first week but I noticed an improvement in energy and mood immediately. I am already on a few different meds for depression, but after a week I am feeling significantly better. M 44 7 days

 1  Anxiety and depression 1st night I took the pill I was on vacation. Very upset because I slept that night,all day the next day and night and didn't enjoy anything. Took 2nd pill 2 weeks later to make sure that was what done this to me. This time I took it at night, slept all night with leg cramps and slept next day, that night,next day, that night AND today I've been awake a little but can't hardly hold up my head to stay awake. I'm awake now trying to look up side effects. I don't like this drug. I need help but still want to enjoy life!! Maybe it might help some people but NOT ME!! F 52 2 days

 3  Weight gain, insomnia and anxiety Extreme next day sleepiness,(felt like a bad hangover), lethargy, careless behavior, bizzare dreams, pain in leg muscles (could hardly walk), major dizziness, slight nausea, memory loss and when the doctor in the hospital combined it with any sedatives/hypnotics that she ordered for me to take resulted in a scary black out the next morning. As far as mental reactions, I felt like I was in a blurr and it was very hard for me to be myself because I was just tired all of the time. I didn't feel like doing anything except eating and sleeping. Very powerful drug. It helped me sleep and eat better but the groggy feeling the next day would last up until 5pm, so it wasn't worth it to take it anymore. Overall I'd recommend this drug for eating disorders such as anorexia and crippling insomnia. F 19 3 weeks

 1  Anxiety Blurred/double vision, eye problems, muscle weakness, numbness in hands/feet, weight gain, diabetes?? Terrible drug, within 3 days my vision went double with a ghosting effect (thankfully getting better with reduced dose), total feeling if weakness across whole body, didn't realise it could potentially induce diabetes due to interfering with blood sugar levels. Coming off this horrific poison, and praying that my muscle weakness (hard to lift my own arm) and general health returns. If these symptoms are permanent it coykd be diabetes induced nerve damage from this horrific drug. Getting to my doc tmrw. M 39 3 months
