i couldn't have been on Remeron for more than two weeks when I tried it solo. I'm such a sucker/so easily influenced by this board. i read a post where someone's pdoc said remeron makes effexor 40X more effective, and now based on that one bit of highly contestdable hearsay, I want to try it. likewise if I read something negative about a med I was excited to try, all hope is lost. i realize how foolish this is but it's what I do. Anyway, I am curious about going back on the effexor and adding something to it. i know we talked about 325mg being a high dose, which I understand it is, but reading the pbabble "home page" devoted to effexor, I have read about a few doctors who will push the effexor up past 600mgs with treatment resistant patients.
there is no doubt the effexor worked wonderfully for a brief period, I wonder if a really high dose is what I need. anyway, effexor+remeron is a pretty common combo- they even gave it a name, "California Rocket Fuel". i don't want to be sedated all day and get all kinds of fat, but if it were to work, I wonder if I would be able to counter these side effects. right now I'm not really living anyway, so I have very little to lose in terms of quality of life.
much love,
