In reply to Re: OldSchool Another Question for you, posted by johnj on February 7, 2002, at 11:24:44
> How long have you been taking Remeron and is it the only thing you take now(no more xanax)? Have you had or heard of anybody having it stop working after a short period of time? I seem to see people saying thinkg like this, but I don't find any doctors talking about this. My old doc didn't seem to want me to try anything new due to hearing things about this, but he was talking about the SSRI's. Thanks
I havent taken Remeron since late 1998 dude. I took Remeron a lot the first year of my depression. It pooped out on me but I think that had more to do with the fact I was taking it with a half mg of Risperdal. I found that soon after adding Risperdal it pooped out and ever since then Ive never had a good antidepressant response to any antidepressant. Probably the best antidepressant effect Ive had since then was with dopaminergic ADs like Wellbutrin SR and high dose Effexor XR.
Remeron is a good antidepressant, particularly for agitated depression and people with severe insomnia. Under normal circumstances it should not poop out on you or stop working. It stopped working for me, however I am far from a typical case and what happened to me probably wouldnt happen to you.
