I took my first dose of Remeron yesterday, (15mg)and I still feel so stunned I can barely type. Its almost like being drunk. How long is this going to last? Will it ease up when I raise my dose? (I've read that higher doses have fewer side effects.)
I'm doing an "overlap"--reducing my Effexor and starting up Remeron. Could that be relevant?
If this is what Remeron is like, I don't want it. I miss my Effexor already. I'm weaning off it though, because its not helping anymore. I've develpoed PTSD because I'm going through a rough patch in my therepy (I also have GAD, panic attacks and depression.)
I also take Risperdal, Trazadone, and Clonazepam. I'm going to cut out the Clonazepam until I'm not so stunned, I can live without that stuff.
I must say, too, that this seems to be the nicest board I've found dealing with mental health (lurked yesterday) others I've tried are outright depressing and sometimes kind of frightening.
Any advice or experiences people have had that may relate would be really helpful.
Thanks.
