johnny... Ya now that you mentioned it.. I too have noticed that remeron at lower doses has halted my appetite.. also I noticed that ever since i have been on it.. i have craved sweets like never before and at the beginning of taking the remeron I ate and ate all kinds of junk and lost my appetite gradually as they kept increasing the dose. Except for the sugar craving and chocolate I havent enjoyed the taste of food nor have i really gotten that "true" healthy hunger I use to..
This cant be healthy... I have forced myself to eat healthier than i ever have.. and still dont enjoy or taste much... NEVER had this problem before...
Again its the drug .. messing with appetite stimulus...
I'll be so glad to eat normal again and actually enjoy my food and feel that natural hunger ... its been so long.take care

> Two things I have experienced since lowering my dose. 1) My appetite waned a bit but I found myself enjoying food better than when I was on the higher doses. The remeron made me crave things I normally would not eat and I really didn't enojoy them. So, my taste seems more natural now and I "sense" or taste other foods now. 2) I need to rest and not do any hard excercise. It just gets my heart going too long and my head feels weird. My whole body seems to feel like it has been running fast and just needs to slow down and heal. So, for me just doing light yard work/garden stuff and walking is all I plan to do. However, just do what you feel you need, no advice here just my thoughts.
