> You mentioned the "stupids". Are you taking anything else in addition to the Remeron?
No,not at the moment,I take Remeron at night before sleeping time.
I have my Clonezepam med for my 'panic attacks' as I suffer severe anxiety w/ panic attack and agoraphobia. So about 1 to 2mg per day if I have to go out...Hummm..not to mention also that I have a BDP disorder...which I think is why my doc suggested trying Remeron (?) Or is it more for anxiety? Not sure...
>What you described sounds so much like what I experienced on Zoloft, but, so far, haven't had that problem with Remeron.
Oh, I've been on Zoloft...it was worse...I was 'really' not there...
Many AD or related med did this kind of side-effects, 'the stupids' and the 'numbness' and 'weakness'. Zoloft, Celexa, Neurotin, Paxil, Effexor...tried all these and I find Remeron, at least for me, is better then all of the ones I tried in the past. I do not like the idea of 'mixing' too many medications at once - it scares me, the idea of it...I hope I wouldn't be on any AD but just an anxilolitic (sorry if that is not the right term here - I'm French)I mean only something that could control my anxiety.
>(I guess I'm a little fearful reading your post thinking that maybe that side-effect is yet-to-come. It was a debilitating side-effect for me on Zoloft.)I think all AD have these similar side-effects unfortunately but the 'intensity' of it varies. For now, I can live with those some small blanks and 'stupids' but soon I'll have my dosage getting higher because the panic are just worse these days....gee...now I am a little worry that I might sleep too much and end up doing nothing during the day and just like...spacing out...I am not working (because of this mixture of problems), so 'without' any 'obligations' , my med tend to make me feel really lazy, sleepy and simply 'unproductive'! I WANT TO FEEL ALIVE!!! =)
Weird to think that anti-depressant are making us...well, in a more depressing way opposed to the contrary!I thought it would give me a 'more happy' feeling, give me more energy and a sense of feeling alive...I just never experienced that with all the AD I've tried. I read alot in posts about Dekapote...how is it??? It is treating what exactly? What are the side-effects? I'm still curious to know about the med I haven't tried out.
Thanks for reading and I hope I don't sound to negative about all this. These are just my own experiences about these drugs.Isa.
