> At least according to my family. It's really too bad cuz I had a delicate balance of remeron, klonopin, and fish oil that was working great.
> Now I'm having heart palpitations, painful walking after sitting for a while (which I suspect is from the 30lbs I've gained), HORRIBLE mood swings and severe depression, especially in the mornings.
> After some intensive research, I'm going to ask the doc to let me try cymbalta and because I can't sleep at night, a low dose of seroquel. The reason why I choose this is because I respond so well to tricyclics, but cymbalta only helps with serotonin and norepinephrine. I've read that seroquel helps with dopamine, which is the other chemical tricyclics trigger.
> For anyone out there with more working brain cells than me, does this sound logical? My family is about ready to disown me and I'm desperate.

>Hi Cherylann,
How much Remeron are you taking? If you can't get sleep with Remeron, then Seroquel isn't going to be much use either. If you had success with TCA's, why not go back to them?
Cheers,
Paul.
