Roo, (from Kansas like me right?), yeah I would go with the flow on the mood stabilizer idea. However, I got an increased (internal) agitation (and zombieheadedness) from Remeron. I tried switching to it from Prozac (once), and then from Zoloft (once), and it didn't work for me. I am one of those SSRI (or WB or stimulant) responders. The receptor antagonists have never done me much good. Don't get me wrong- I slept GREAT on Remeron (which is very important), but daytime was just not RIGHT-I was a grouchy couch potato (with all of this internal restlessness-like when I had EPS from Haldol-but nowhere near as bad). TALK TO YOUR PDOC ASAP. NO reason to feel like this. SENDING GOOD THOUGHTS YOUR WAY!!
