> That's great Robin, I am glad you have had good experiences... I felt good before and I'm trying so hard to get back there because it's a great place.

> I have taken 5 other meds before, Effexor, Paxil, Seroquel, Zyprexa, and Geodon and all of them I noticed response within the first week.. the kind of response I would consider feeling happy and like myself. So that would make me believe that this isn't going to improve. But on the other hand, I definitely can say I have not gotten worse, or have been suicidal (like I slightly felt w/no AD).. I just feel about the same as when I started, maybe a tiny bit better. Just not productive, not really happy, slumpish, tough to get motivation. So I'm wondering if it's going to get better or what, because if this is it, I definitely need something else. It definitely doesn't feel like the reponse I have had on other meds when they were working.. like when you can say for sure "I feel good and like myself"... I think we all know what I'm talking about.(we've all been there at some point!) So do you think because of my early responses with other meds that this just isn't the one? or since I feel not suicidal that I should stick with it or increase dosage? I feel like I'm stuck at a 5 out of 10 since I started and I can't feel emotion...

Charlie I am by no means an expert ..but I can say that I respond to meds well ..If you think that the meds are not working for you and you know your metabalism then be keen and smart ..I have heard great things about Remeron and it has put me on track where I feel almost whole again ..you know yourself if things are getting better ..so be wise and do the right thing ..sometimes the dose that the Doctor puts you on is not enough..or you just dont adjust to it ..I take 30mg of Remeron at 11:00 pm and as well take 0.5 mg of clonazepam at bed time too. in the morning I take clorazepam 0.5 mg and this gives me a lift..and take another at 3 to4 pm and I dont give care ..I am happy now ..thats all that counts..so do yourself a favour see that the dose you are taking is the right dose ..this is my opinion only ..someone might have to take more of each ..But I feel alive again and wish I could share my good feelings with someone else if you know what I mean...all the best.I t has workred for me ..I even got a part time job to take up the loneliness ..but that is part of my lost loved one ..I do fell great though..Hope you can find thwe best thing for you ..all the best a new ...Robin
