Helped with my depression and insomnia a while but I gained too much weight on it and got depressed by that and panicked,and went off it.But I think JaneDoe56 is right:different people respond to it differently.

I take it for depression and it does help but takes some time to get in the system. I sleep much better and also if I stop taking it for a few days I feel anxious and tearful.

What a small world. Zoloft worked for me for years but went I went into a major depression I was given Remeron. It helped my depression, but ever since I retain my urine all day & go during the night. (often times wetting the bed). *I also have Cerebral Palsy, but never had this problem.

i swear to god [bad word for today] but remeron saved my life, i literally saved my life.....it take a few weeks to get the right level for you and it will make you sleep so you need to take it 12 hours before you want to get up.....so if you need to get up a 7am then you take it at 7pm. at first it will make you really tired soon after you take it, but in a week or so it wont make you so tired so early....hope this helps and i hope it works for you.....

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
