Hi Lisa ( I say that a lot....maybe I'll think of something inventive)
I never tried remeron, but heard of it, and was asked by my pdoc if I
wanted to try it. Just did a search on it, found this place called
crazy meds dot com (weird site.) Every other place said, like they
are talking to children, "remeron is a drug called an
'antidepressant'. antidepressants balance certain chemicals in your
brain...".Cheese, get to what class it is, side effects....
Here is a blurb I found interesting. Don't know what you mean by
correlated. maybe this is informative.:
Remeron's pros and cons:
Pros: If serotonin and/or norepinephrine are the answer for you,
Remeron will pull you out of the deepest, blackest depression like no
other medication will.
Cons: You will literally eat sugar straight out of the bag to satisfy
your cravings for sweets and carbohydrates.
Remeron's Typical Side Effects: Most of the anticholinergic effects
common with psychiatric medications (e.g. constipation, confusion,
loss of coordination, memory loss) are infrequent with Remeron.
Instead you get intense hunger for the wrong foods, and with that
comes weight gain, dry mouth and constipation caused by what you eat
and not Remeron itself. Then you want to sleep a lot. It's like you
may as well be smoking pot when you take Remeron.
For tips on how to cope with these side effects, please see our side
effects page.
Remeron's Not So Common Side Effects: Edema, dizziness, low blood
pressure, increased thirst to go with the munchies, 'flu-like
symptoms.
These may or may not happen to you don't, so don't be surprised one
way or the other.
Remeron's Freaky Rare Side Effects: Going deaf and various flavors of
herpes. Yeah, right, Remeron gave someone an STD. Remeron also carries
a warning for agranulyocytosis, the severe reduction in white cell
count, along with fever, infection and all that fun stuff. That hit
Mouse like a ton of bricks. She was stuck in a motel in Fairfield for
a week after one dose of Remeron.
You aren't going to get these. I promise.
For all side effects, see the PI sheets below.
Interesting Stuff Your Doctor Probably Won't Tell You: Remeron appears
to be subject to a really quick poop-out, like after just a month or
so. Works great, then quits on you.
Remeron will make you more drunk. So while liquor as no effect upon
Remeron, the opposite is not true. Be extra careful if you mix booze
and Remeron.

Remeron's pros and cons:
yeah, i'd been gaining weight anyway, but on remeron i could
eat any quantity of food and never feel satisfied, and was
hungry 24/7. mixing that with too much thyroid hormone was
something...
i just got off remeron. have to see what my mood does. i'm
still on wellbutrin and cymbalta for antidepressants, and my
pdoc said that remeron's effects are mostly covered by those
two. i hope i don't slide down now that i've stopped it. 5
meds for my head are more than enough. i don't want to have to
add the 6th one back. i'm hoping that tonight's just an
aberration, and not a sign that i need the remeron back.
thanks for the info. i like the 'eating sugar out of the bag'
comment. it's too true.

I hate that feeling, anti psych -things gave me that.

Good, I was reluctant, seeing how it's kind of flip, and you're not
feeling well. Seems like the person has some smarts though. Hey,
roses, huh? oh yeah, Valentines. Good for you. 'Night.
