> What you just said makes no sense...You just said you lost your sex drive until you were put on Remeron to get it back...So your saying it was all depression why you lost it not the chemical changes induced by taking the drug Remeron at all? You did not take the drug as a cocktail with seroquel either like he did and you can't compare one person's reaction to the next as always consistent...And then you further say he needs wellbutrin or effexor for his depression which will artificially reuptake dopamine receptors or serotonin and may work initially but it is always a drug that changes how the brain is working here and depression cannot radically change brain chemistry the same way drugs can no matter what...sorry to say your claim has less credibility than his...especially b/c you obviously never studied the long term effects drugs have on the brain...The guy is depressed of course but that is a cause and effect here due to the drugs and not the "main" reason his drive is ultimately gone....
