Many would be glad: Unless you were very pleased to gain all that weight, I'm thinking you're pleased. It may not be exactly the same for everyone, but gains w/ these drugs are common complaints and sadly, some say it stays afterwards. Your experience makes sense though, so don't worry. But do discuss all the drugs w/ your Dr. Some might not be needed and they can help you weanThe minimum needed is best!.

Remeron: I am not sure if I would keep a patient on a medication if there was a 70 pound weight. gain. Per Drugs.Com, Remeron is associated with increased appetite (up to 17%) & weight gain (up to 12%). That is also a very rapid weight loss. I don't think this is typical.
