My physical anxiety increased and my irritation.
I would actually hit a period mid morning where I would shake. I work 1pm-8pm, so I started going for a really brisk 40 min walk every day and that helped to burn off the shakiness. For me though, it was nothing compared to the extreme shaking, crawling out of my skin, unable to stop moving affect I had with celexa. I had to stop the celexa after three days. If you feel on remeron like I felt on celexa I would not blame you at all for discontinuing.
It took about three weeks at 15mg to get rid of the irritability and at a little over four weeks almost all of my anxiety VANISHED. Before that time I had not had much relief from anxiety at all.
The increased hunger sucks. I have a mild version of it now. from weeks two to four it was insane. I felt like I was starving myself all the time even though I wasn't. Now, instead of feeling ravenous, I just never feel full after I eat. So, I have to cognitively tell myself to stop eating even when I'm not full. So far, the drug has helped me so much that I won't quit it based on that. Before the med kicked in, however, I thought about dropping it everyday!!!
Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
