Re: Remeron and Effexor

> The worst thing I could have done! Before trying this combination I had reasonable success with both Prozac and Effexor. I tried Remeron and Effexor for about a month and stopped taking it due to the severe headache side effects that it gave me. The problem is that, having stopped it, my head is now so sensitive to medication that I cannot tolerate anything, not even Prozac or Effexor, which I previously had no problem with. Unfortunately it doesn't stop there, having come off medication altogether, my head is now so sensitive that even paracetamol makes me feel awful in the head. There is no doubt in my mind that the combination of Remeron and Effexor have caused me considerable harm. Both my General Practicioner and Psychiatrist have witnessed the extreme effect that medication now has on me and now seem to be of the same opinion. They are now sending me to see a professor who specialises in the side effects of antidepressant drugs. Based on my experience with Remeron and Effexor, I wouldn't suggest that anyone should try it. I certainly wish that I hadn't!


Hi rjk.

Thanks for the warning.

I am considering adding Remeron to the Effexor I am now taking. Can you give a more detailed description of what you feel? In what way are you now "sensitive" to drugs? How long ago did you stop taking Remeron?

Anything you can add will help.

I hope this professor can help you out.
