I started Remeron a week ago but I can't understand why my psychiatrist put me on it.
I went to him to try to target my adhd-like syntoms and I suggested desipramine. He said that desipramine was ok but he also suggested to take Remeron. Since I started it I'm more spaced out than ever and I'm wondering if his suggestion was clever or not. He wrote me in a mail that he gave me Remeron for anxiety but I'm not very anxious, to be honest. The only think I can complain about when I'm not on meds is lack of concentration and all the stuff add-people usually lack. The psychiatrist might also think that I have some problem with mood swings which go beyond the adhd picture because he put me on Trileptal (I must say I disagree with him on this point).My questions are:
1. I wrote in many posts that Remeron is both serotoninergic and anti-serotoninergic. Is this true ?
2. does anybody manage to understand what could be behind my psychiatrist suggestion of Remeron ?
I'm trying to figure out if it's the case to quit it or not.
