> You said the Remeron worked great but then pooped out. Did you try upping the dose? My pdoc started me on 30, upped me to 45 within a month or so knowing that the sedation would be lower at 45. 45 worked well for a number of months but then started to poop out so we upped it to 60 and I feel good. Now I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't poop out again, but this is the best I've felt in a long time.
Well, I wish you much luck because I had also increased my dosage to 45 and then to 60 mg. before it pooped out. That doesn't necessarily mean it will fail you, too, since EVERY person is different. At the time of the final poopout, I was going through some of the most painful transitions in my personal life, i.e. lost my job, developed a stubborn intestinal infection, lost a lot of weight, needed a colonoscopy (I am 53), and woke up to the brutal realization that big changes had to be made in my personal life and my depression was severe. The bottom line was that the Remeron failed me when i needed it most. . I hope that you will have much better luck with it than I did. Feel free to let me know how you do in the coming days and weeks [E-mail suankrit226@yahoo.com if you want it.].
