What it might change, Cr.ck.uk,. is your symptoms. I don't know anything about Remeron, but side affects when starting a new drug are the norm. If we all quit before the requisite time it takes for them to start passing and for the benefits to start, then we'll never get benefits.
It takes time to find out if a drug works. I went four months on Effexor before I realized any gain. During that time I had a lot of side effects. I wanted to quit, too. Every month I was getting a new side effect as others were dropping away. It took six months before I could say "yes, this is a benefit and I can live with the side effects that remain." And all that was for a drug that didn't even address my main issues. I couldn't get him to try any others for nine months.
You will never know what drug will work for you if you don't ride out the initial phases. Sadly, we all have to do that over and over. Waiting while suffering is hard, and then you have to go through increases in dosage just to see if the real issue is how much of the drug you need.
Maybe others with experience with that drug can say if those effects passed with that drug, or post here and tell you that those effects were there with similar drugs and that they did lessen later on.
Anyone?
