Hi, I`m depressed like all the time and went to see a doc. He has prescribed me Remeron, but when I read something about its` side effects, not so sure should I give it a shot, or ask for a second opinion? I have a weight problem and Remeron will only make it worse. Anyway, I`ve heard about Elavil and Nuerontin and wonder is there somebody with experience on those meds?

Hi, yeah, Remeron will probably give you a weight gain. With that drug, all you need is a sugar and I mean a lot of it. But, Remeron is for people who are seriously (not mild) depressed, and if you want to fight your depression no matter what, it`s the right med for you. I have bipolar illness and was given Nuerontin. But, Nuerontin gave me a poly-cystic ovary disease and severe manic episodes. There are not many meds on the market for bipolar illness, unfortunately. Don`t know much about Elavil. It`s a tricyclic antidepressant and is used to relieve signs of depression. I heard about a woman who was on Elavil and it gave her difficulties with breathing, swelling of her tongue, lips and face. Elavil can give you a heart attack, high blood pressure, fever, loss of weight...
