i would predict serotonin syndrome from combining two reuptake inhibitors
>>>>>>I'd be cutting my Zoloft dose markedly, to accomodate the added Remeron; the totality of the 2 meds would not be an extra large dose at all.
may as well just take remeron>>>>>>I wish it were that easy.....the Zoloft is a PROVEN anti-ocd med for me (but w/ some very detrimental s/e's.....IF I can lower the Z dose, and use add'l Remeron to compensate for the depression that I normally get when lowering the Z dose, I may very well be able to pull this off---I may get enough Z benefit for the ocd, enough depression benefit from the Z and R TOGETHER, and be able to avoid some/many of the s/e's...see how complicated this crap can be, lol! To add further "potential" to this plan, it IS 'possible' (as Remeron does work for SOME for ocd) that I MAY be able to eventually replace the Z with the R completely...
