Hello there :-)
I have been on 30mg rem for 8/9 mnths and it has been a gr8 med to be on for anxiety beleive it or not, many say it is rubbish for anxiety and is for depression, but for me it is gr8 for my anxiety and now pooping out on my depression, all others i had bad reactions with, i am a female so i couldnt say about the sexual dis wat eva..
I never suffered the sleepiness, although as soon as i take it i feel mellow, and relaxed, i look forward in taking it at night time cus i know i will be relaxed etc, as for sleep like i said rem dont make me sleepy, it would take a huge hammer to knock me out, BUT i do get a good night sleep when i go to bed, i do feel tired in the morning but i guess thats cus i go to bed at about 1-3 am and am up between 7-8 due to that nightmare of an alarm going off grrrr.
Weightgain well ermm i have gained in total since i been on it around 40-50 pounds no bull!! and i am overweight as it is, BUT that is up to YOU to control, only you can control the weightgain, just dont give in to temtations, i am infact starting to cut down on fatty foods and so far i feel a little better in myself, i look at rem as my "magical relaxer" like people do with xanax, valuim etc, it does relax and chill me out!!
BUT to be honest with you i have heared alot of people being on rem for a certain amount of time and it actually starts to poop out, which is what i think it is doing to me now, as i am kind of having more down days than up!!
Anyways stick with it, the side affects i am sure will dissapear soon for you, the sexual dis wat eva may have something to do with your other med, or just your illness !!Take care
Donna
