I am taking 45mgs of remeron, 600mgs of lithium, 4mgs of klonopin and 900mgs of neurontin. All of this because I went into an agitated depression about 5 months ago. I'm no longer agitated. With all the downers, I'm surprised I can stand up. I still feel moderately depressed and anxious.
Since increasing my dose of remeron from 30mgs to 45mgs I have been waking up with panic attacks. My pdoc thinks it is because of the remeron but also thinks that if I reduce the dose I may lose the antidepressant effect. Anybody have any experience reducing remeron? I'm thinking of dropping back to the 30mg dose but I don't know if that is too big a reduction to make all at once.
My pdoc believes in doing one thing at a time, which makes sense, but I'd love to reduce the lithium too. I hate the way it makes me feel shakey internally and the way it makes my hands shake.
Any advice?
