I've heard Remeron can be good for anxiety? Any input on any experiences with this med would be appreciated.

Only my experience on 15mg that didn't even make me tired or hungry. Took for over a month and stopped. No withdrawal no nothing. Phillipa

Theo,
To the best of my knowledge Remeron doesn't help against anxiety.
I've tried it in several dosages and the effect on fear remained the same (zilch). Adding a fair amount of fish oil did the trick for a while... but then the effect pooped out.
Remeron was however a magic pill against depression and in a specific way made me more sociable. Also perfect for sleep and boosted my libido a little. But the other side effect was HUGE weight gain. The latter made me quit!
Good luck,
Maria

I doubt Remeron would be prescribed for acute anxiety, but I know it's been rx'd for GAD.

I was put on remeron for anxiety. I have been on it for 6 yrs.I have GAD. My Dr. told me 15mg. is for anxiety & anything above is for depression. It has worked fine for me. I do battle the weight problem. I have been on a complex carb diet & have shed about 10 lbs.So you can loose weight on it.
