Hi Linkadge.
> You're on effexor and remeron. Thats a power punch (dubbed california rocket fuel)

> Do you find it overstimulating.No. Not yet. 150mg of Effexor made me happy, 225 happier, 300 seems to have added a little energy.
>What did the addition of remeron do.
>Remeron gives me great sleep & it takes away nausea & anorgasmia caused by Effexor. It took me along time to increase from 15mg to 30mg as it was just making me very irritable & cranky withing 30 minutes of taking it. The key was to increase my Effexor from 150mg to 225mg at the same time. I had huge nausea trying to get to 225mg without increasing Remeron.

Pretty good, I'm pretty happy & sleeping great. I have only been on 300mg+30mg for a little over a week, but I've had a cold for the last couple of days. I did notice that it was suddenly easier to get up & do things after the dose increase, I hope that comes back after I loose this cold & sore throat. I've had 2 colds in the last 3 weeks(it's autumn here & warm)... I think I might ask my doc for a white cell count as Remeron, like it's brother Mianserin, has a low risk of agranulocytosis.Cheers,
Panda.
