Love your name...
Good to hear somebody is getting good relief from their illness. It is certainly hard to find a good combo. I applaud your efforts. Sometimes I just want to go off meds and be hospitaliized. Continuing the fight can be so hard and struggling. I often pray that I find something to make me at least useful and then hope down the road something better will come along. I believe many of us are in that situation.
I have come back to remeron because of the severe insomnia I was having. Great AD for sleep and I jumped back in at 30 mg. Last time I tried remeron I had severe brain fog/spaciness. But, that was probably due to working out since it happens when I am on a TCA too. I have some staring problems on it too, but I guess I need to weight the benefits of that or not being able to work at all.
I have some questions for you. It sounds like you take lithium too? I also take 600 mg for atypical depression. How much do you take? Are you taking anything else? If yes, will you scale it back since remeron is working? I am also on 18.5 mg of tranzene and may scale that back too. I am thinking I need something in the morning to clear my head, but am not sure what. Anyway, Congrats on finding your jewel to wellness. Best Wishesjohnj
