> Hi babblers
> Did anyone have experience with the combo of celexa and remeron ? I take 80 mg Celexa and started with 7.5 mg Remeron to augment the ssri (melancholic depression with lack of self esteem). Now I have headache and drowsiness. Should I decrease the Celexa or increase the Remeron. I have heard that the Remeron causes fewer sedation in higher doses!?

I took the combo. Yes, my doctor said Remeron is less sedating at higher doses. She explained why but I can't rememeber . . .

At any rate, I finally gave up on it b.c. yes, it was helping me sleep, but I felt so drugged from it I couldn't stand it. And it didn't help my depression. But it's a miracle drug for others. I now take Celexa and Neurontin. The Neurontin has a calming effect on me, and helps me to go to sleep but does not make me feel overly tired. It's a pleasant feeling, really. I take 300 mg. 4 times a day.
