Combining meds can be a big mistake!

Posted by rjk on July 17, 2002, at 2:34:11

I combined Remeron with Effexor and it was the biggest mistake of my life. Since then I have had extreme reactions to any drugs that I have taken and my brain is now so sensitive to any form of drug that I literally cannot now even take an aspirin.
I would urge anyone who is thinking about combining meds only to do so as a last resort. They obviously work for some people, but for me it was a BIG mistake.
Personally I think that psychiatrists are too keen to start experimenting on people with combos that have no track record. Also, many psychiatrists do not consider that there are any benefits from doing so.
