Remeron vs. Paxil

Posted by PeterM on October 20, 2002, at 17:48:45

My first post:
After having been on Celexa for almost 2 months, I'm getting a little fed up. 20 mg worked for a couple of weeks then pooped out, 30 mg didn't work and then 40 mg held for about a week (feeling good for the majority of it). Today it pooped out. I was barely able to get out of bed. So, I'm thinking of switching meds. I've used Paxil before - it stopped the anxiety and depression in about 10 days, but the insomnia was awful and getting off of it was worse. My pdoc recommended Remeron when I started the Celexa. It seems Remeron is either a miracle or it doesn't help at all. I've got insomnia, not bad, but certainly haven't had a good restful sleep in quite some time. I know Paxil works, but the side effects are awful. I'm having trouble making up my mind which drug to choose. I also took Serzone 5 years ago, but when a bout of major depression started it didn't help me at all. Anybody have thoughts? Thanks.
