Yes, I had a bad experience with Remeron. I had nightmares, difficulty disguishing reality from dreams, being in a constant fog, tired, feeling unsafe driving, outbursts of anger, my eyes began to jerk and still do 10 days after stopping the med. I am having trouble with short term memory still. It was a terrible experience and I never want to take anti-depressents again. I feel so much better now that I am off them. My family says they are glad to have me "back again". If it were not for a concerned psychiatrist that learned I was put on these drugs, I would probably still be on them and going downhill. He invited me to his house to talk about what my doctor had put me on and talked some sense into my head about them. He continues to check on me regularly at church and we communicate via email during the week sometimes. I am convinced I have done the right thing to quit taking them and he is too. Now I have to face my doctor next week.....I know he will not be happy I quit and I have the job of convincing him I am better without them.
> Thanks folks - last night was my 4th night at 30mg. I found myself hungrier than usual, will have to watch that, but I'll see how it is after one week at 30mg. Thanks again - as usual, I'm interested in what everyone has to say. I find that I was a bit irritable last evening and kind of so this morning, has anyone else had irritability with this and did it go away, anxiety seems to be OK, how about depression? Feel free to post additional comment, I'm interested in hearing re these issues.
