[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 108917, member: 3072"] I don't know about Remeron in children but I was on Remeron for a few months. I was on it for anxiety and depression which it did help a little but the weight gain was terrible. I am not a big person and actually wanted to gain weight but put on 20lbs in 9 weeks and was still gaining. Made me feel bloated and crave sweets. I also had restless leg syndrome about a half hour after taking it...also made me irritable and cranky. I thought the side effects outweighed the possible positives for the medication. It seems the lower the dose, the more tired one feels and the sleepy effects get less with increase. As far as for kids, I really don't know. My daughter had a pretty bad experience with Zoloft but is doing ok on Prozac. Actually, I don't know if its helping a whole lot but she's not off the wall like she was while on the Zoloft. I would probably give it a try but watch him closely. If you don't like what you see, take him off it. You might have to wean him off it but I went cold turkey with- no problems. Its different for everyone. [/QUOTE]
