After that email I sent, I decided to try a medication that my doctor warned me about since they tend to give it to patients who struggle with insomnia and appetite issues, which were also two things I strongly struggled with too. Ever since then, I've been so much better.

It's called Remeron and I take two 15mg pills a night before bed, which after an hour or so feels like I'm drunk af and just so HUNGRY. Cereal (such as Lucky Charms) is like a drug, it seriously hits differently when I'm in this drowsy high phase!

Of course, a side effect to that increased appetite is weight gain. I've put on over 30 pounds since I switched to Remeron without trying or anything. It's real, and honestly doesn't bother me one bit.

If the cost of feeling joy and happiness means being a big boi then I'll take it. This is the only medication that has actually made me FEEL excellent most days and it forces me to not skip meals (since I tend to starve myself when I'm under lots of stress).

Also, I can confirm that my blood test results were in the standard range last time I got checked, so I'm doing okay! The only downside to these pills is how drowsy it makes me feel. If I don't set an alarm to wake me up, I can sleep for 13+ hours a day.

That all said, I highly recommend talking to your doctor/therapist to find what works best for YOU. There are so many options out there and it may take a while to find the exact one that works in your favor, but you will find it eventually!

Effexor is the only medication that worked for me that didn’t have intolerable side effects. Thanks for sharing your story, Eric.
