Unfortunately the insomnia was terrible and when raised at 300 mg, I felt OD'd and drugged, serotonin overload, or something. Never felt worse. Due to insomnia I was told to quit it, because lowering the dose back to 150mg did not give back the good feeling.

Hi Nusbu,

When people refer to an AD as being weak we are generally refering to it efficacy, not it's potency. I frequently describe Remeron, Wellbutrin, Serzone, Trazodone & Buspar as weak, but they are still usefull. For the majority, using one of these by itself rarely gives any real AD effect, but for a minority of people, they are a godsend. All of them are great when added to an effective SSRI. Wellbutrin is said to be great for countering SSRI induced lethargy, I wish it was available here. Trazodne & Serzone are great sleep aids with some anxiolytic effects. Remeron is great for countering SSRI induced insomnia, anorgasmia & nausea. Manerix is regarded as the last choice when compared to it's brothers Nardil & Parnate, but I am sure there are people that have failed some SSRI's, some TCA's, Nardil & Parante & then in desperation tried Manerix & found success.

Cheers,
Panda.
