Hi All,
Just got back from my pdoc appointment. It went better than I had anticipated. He was very understanding when I told him I had tried my own cocktail.... zoloft/nortrip.
After 5 days without sleep, he is putting me back on remeron 15mg. I've been on it for 2 years and it seems to agree with me. I told him I'd prefer it over a sleeping pill as I might as well get some type of A/D benefit if it's for sleep.
He also presribed me cymbalta 60 mg. I have never been on it so I hope it helps. I was on effexor several years ago with remeron but found it to be a bit to stimulating for me. I have heard that cymbalta does not work in the same way as effexor so I may be able to tolerate it.
He also gave me imovane 7.5mg ? as needed for sleep. I'm not sure wat it is but hopefully I won't need it as the remeron should satisfy my sleep requirements.
The Imovane is here in Canada so it may be called something else??
Thanks for reading. I will be sure to provide updates to all.
Regards, Rick
