I wake with no 'drugged' feeling in the morning. I can now 'sleepin' on the weekends if I get the opportunity, when I never could before.

For me, it is the 'Life Function Narcolepsy frustration of despair" when it happens, and it happenes without fail. Regardless of past PMHNP's pdoc "poo-poo-ing' this actual truth occurring to me.

>Hi Tony,
After taking Remeron for any length of time you are not likely to experience the zombie effect of Histamine blockade from Zyperxa or Seroquel. :) The zombie effect of these drugs is worth putting up with as it does pass with time.
