>I'm sorry if I gave you that impression. I just worry that if someone else had the sort of bad reaction I had, reading that Remeron was entirely good might trigger some pretty hopeless feelings. I know that I'm depressed now, and hear people talking about drugs that are working well for them -- and then feel worse, and much more critical of myself, thinking things like, "there's no hope for me," or worse yet, that there's something wrong with me that I won't try those drugs again. For me, depression comes with a huge dose of self-criticism, so I wanted to try to offer support for anyone else who might have similar feelings.
But I will agree with the basic premise of your post -- the combination of Remeron and Effexor has shown very good results for many, many people. It's well worth trying -- especially since the dose of Effexor was so low when she did try it.
So, peace? I think you contribute a lot to this community, and really didn't want you to feel I was criticizing you -- I just wanted to add that there are adverse effects for some people, for the reasons listed above.
