I'm new, too.
About two weeks ago, my doctor started me on Remeron for recurring depressive episodes -- I've lost three jobs in the last three years because of taking too much time off without advance notice. Previously, I had held the same job for thirteen years! Remeron icreased the sleepiness to the point where last weekend, I did not get out of bed at all! The doctor had advised me that the effects may decrease with an increased dosage, so I went from 30mg to 45mg after the first week. Things only got worse. I had increased somnolence, sensitivity to noise, dizziness everytime I stood, and nausea. And this stuff is supposed to make me feel better!!!
The side effects are worse than my original symptoms. So, now what?P.S. Judy, if you don't feel comfortable with your doctor, maybe you should get another one!
