In reply to nusbu-manerix questions. also, wellbutirn Rem, posted by ravenstorm on June 2, 2004, at 9:33:48

Hi,
I am extremely sensitive to meds, so we started very low and easy. Started first 3.75 mg Remeron and wellbutrin (Zyban, a quater) 37.5 mg. Two days like that and then upped 7.5 mg Remeron in the evening and 75 mg Wellbutrin in the morning. Upping the wellbutrin next monday 150 mg, keeping Remeron 7.5 mg, in case needed go to 15 mg, Remeron for me is only a sleeping pill. Getting bad dreams from it so bit upset about it, but dislike benzos for sleep. So far feeling ok, not quite not depressed, but a bit better. (no side-effects, which is ubelievable, i always get them all) First two day I just slept because of Remeron, tried to combat that with provigil, did not help. I let you know how I progress. I am fairly optimistic, even after 10 years of hit and misses.

> As for manerix. What dosage is your friend taking?
my friend is taking 300 mg a day, 150 mg in the morning and the same at 4 p.m.

> When you took manerix and had insomnia, did they offer you any meds to take with it to try to mitigate that side effect?

they offered temazepam 20-40 mg, oxazepam as well as zopiclon, did not help that much. one nite I when I took 40 mg temazepam+ zopiclon + oxazepam, and could not sleep I knew I wanted to stop manerix, I thought that was insane. I was waking during the night, and felt really bad, I was a walking zombie, a nervous wreck. I feel so much better now. I took three weeks to sleep without benzos after that episode of my life.

In case you are interested I know my share on efficacy of ADs. I have tested and taken during last 10 years all the SSRIs, Lamictal, Neurontin, Benzos, Manerix, Topamax, Ritalin, Provigil you name it, I have been on it. Based on that I would say that Manerix is an effective and well working drug compared to many others. And I have seen closely it helping a person with serious depression and eating disorder. We are unique when it comes to drugs and their efficacy.

Take care you all,

Nusbu
