I'm sorry to hear that - you sounded so enthusiastic about what a great drug it is.
I asked because after 16 years of depression/dysthymia/anxiety, I've cleared the shelves of every AD, mood stabilizer and combination thereof (only responded to MAOI, specifically Nardil, and can't tolerate it physically). I've been told all I have left are Remeron or ECT.
I've resisted trying Remeron because I've never been able to take even one antihistimine pill without being 'out' for at least 48 hours - and feeling fatigued is very frighteningly like a symptom of my depression. As for ECT - I know it's a miracle for some, but I cannot consent to it - I just can't do it.
