RUUUUUUUN! I went on Remeron a year ago. It helped immensely with sleep and depression. However, I had horrible nightmares and felt like a zombie during the day. Worst of all, I gained 15lb in two months - it makes you eat uncontrollably, especially carbs. That drug is a disaster. My psychiatrist really wanted me to stay on it but in the end I could not continue...the weight gain and side effects outweighed the benefit. Please look into this drug and the side effects - weight gain is very very common and it made me eat impulsively. It was scary.

50mg/night of traz worked for me - if you have already been on remeron for 8 months though and didn’t react to it as badly as I did you should be fine tapering. Ask your psych

My company was just acquired by a private equity firm. We’ve been around for 25+ years and have been a public company. They say “business as usual” for now, and I feel like the product I work in is pretty safe. I also received direct, positive feedback from the company’s COO surrounding my leadership. I recognize there can be positives and negatives to this type of acquisition, but I’m curious if anyone has any tips, feedback, personal experiences, etc. they can share?

Wondering if anyone struggles with a similar problem I do - I was a volleyball player/serious athlete from 10 until I finished playing my senior year of college. I then worked as a full time volleyball coach/assistant director of operations for a super competitive club in south Florida. I changed career paths for stability and money increase, but now I find when I’m super stressed at work I avoid the gym. I normally go 4-6 days per week and consider it an outlet, but now seems to add stress.
