Hi.
You should ask a pharmacist if no one here can give you answer.
Were you there for the appointment? You should have asked if you were.
I hope your dad finds some relief soon ... and you too.

> in the past few months. After a suicide attempt last fall he was prescribed Paxil and Xanax by Doc A, which he refused to continue taking after a few days. Next I got him to go the urgent care and Doc B there prescribed Remeron for him. Today Doc C said he should never have been given the Remeron and has put him on Lexapro. My head is spinning. He's described to each of them his problems/symptoms which indicate MDD and Panic. Are all these viable drugs for the dx? Why would Remeron not be a good choice for someone 67 with no major health problems who has lost 50 lbs. in the last six months. I actually thought using Remeron for him was a good idea since it affects the brain chemistry so dramatically and can help with weight gain. Any ideas? These doc are driving me crazy!
