anybody taking remron or have taken this before? I got this med for sleeping at night and also for deression to. Just wondering if it worked for you?

took it yup. for over a year at 30mg.

it is as good or better as any benzo for sleep. excellent sleep med and low side effects.

for depression, i took it with risperidone, so not sure, but it was a part of a cocktail i was very stable on.

good luck. for me, it's a very good med. :)

I took it for a while years ago but came off it due to weight gain.....I remember taking it for sleep trouble that I was having too. I hope it works well for ya!

I've been on it for about 6 months. weight gain bad, but excellent for going to sleep. no side effects other than weight loss...hope it works for you. I just got off of it this past week and went on neurontin.
