The remeron has helped me with my intake; had lost almost 12 lbs in two weeks when I went to my last follow-up appt, but since then 10 days ago) I have actually GAINED a lb--the first time that has happened since I started treatment in August. And it does get better: on Thanksgiving I was actually able to taste 75% of what I tried, and green beans and cucumbers were themselves most enough that not even my very dry mouth got in the way of enjoying some of those. Take care, and I will be hoping for a good outcome for you.
