As far a Remeron goes;
It has a wierd affect at different doses. With Remeron, in some people, the more you take the more affective it is.
I have been on Remeron for a couple of years now for depression. After taking it I noticed my appetite getting ravenous. I sleep better too.
I have a friend that took Remeron and it made her sleep off and on for days on in. She finally told her Dr about it and they raised the dose for her and she stopped sleeping so much.
I love Remeron and am now maintaining a very healthy weight. I am 5'4" and weight 137 lbs.
Before remeron I was at 111 lbs.
So all in all I reccomend Remeron for an appitie stimulant, but just be proactive in getting the correct dose for you!

Hi,
My son was on marinol for awhile. he did do ok with it. but one doc said she wanted him to increase his dose so we
did and came home for hospital and the next thing i knew, my son was crying uncontrollably and screaming at me. I took him to er in our town and they couldn't see anything wrong with him. after a few min he snapped out of it and said " i'm not crying anymore" . after that we threw out the marinal and just started making him eat more caloric foods

Bizarre... I was given the RX for it from a psychiatrist who likely KNEW that its better at higher doses, but I was also having trouble sleeping at the time, so maybe it was like a double edged sword... either I get sleep or I gain weight.

Either way, I have been taking doses of Marinol at night cause it makes me kinda sleepy. Can't tell any difference in appetite yet, other than I find myself looking through cupboards wondering what on earth I can eat next... LOL.

BUT, from what I've read, I have to stay on it for a while before it will make me ravenous... so I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions... Perhaps someday I'll look into Remeron again if this doesn't work.

I started Marinol in May. At first I started 2.5mg x 2 a day, but now I find that I get the best results from it taking 10mg once a day with breakfast or lunch. Taking it with food seems to get it absorbed and working the best. I also think that someone who has to take enzymes should probably take a couple with it to maximize the absorption. The THC (or dronabinol, if you want to call it by its "pharmaceutical name") is stored in sesame oil which is fatty.

My weight still fluctuates a lot, but it makes food a lot more enjoyable, and has completely ridded me of nausea from constant antibiotics I'm on. I'm at a steady weight of about 105-110 now, and before I started it I stayed around 95. Side effects are different on everyone, but I do get stoned still but it isn't enough to interfere with driving or anything like that. I find that the appetite stimulant effect only works when you actually do feel it.
