Hi,
I haven't posted here in a while. So, I will fill you in on latest details. My psydoc of 7-8 years retired a while back. He referred me to one of his collegues for continued treatment. I saw the new psydoc about three times. The only thing she changed was increasing my Remeron from 30mg to 45mg. This was due to a discussion we had about Remeron causing my weight gain. She said that in some people Remeron in higher doses did not increase there appetite as much and told me just to try it at 45mg and see what happens. I couldn't tell any difference.
Then my old psydoc that retired came back into practice. He is a very well known and respected psydoc where I live. He even has part of the major hospital here named after him. I was lucky to get him. He is older but wise. He had went to volunteer to help soilders returning from Iraq with ptsd and deceided he missed seeing and treating patients.
So, when he came back into practice he took over my treatment. I saw him last month and it was time for all new scripts for my meds. I told him about the other psydoc increasing my Remeron from 30mg to 45mg. When I recently got the scripts filled he wrote my Remeron to take 1 to 2 30mg pills at night with a sixty pill month supply. This would mean I would take 60mg of Remeron if I wanted each night. But I thought I was maxed out at 45mg.
So, my concern and questions are the following?
Is 60mg of Remeron commonly prescribed?
Is 60mg of Remeron dangerous?
Has anyone taken this amount? and if yes what if any were the side effects?
I ask this b/c my med regimin is 60mg Cymbalta, 4mg Klonopin, 200mg Luvox, 300mg Lyrica, and then the Remeron topped of by 40mg of Lipitor.
My meds work. All my tests for liver enzymes, etc. are fine. And I am in overall good pysical health. I am 33 years old.
Sorry for such a long rambling post. Just had a lot of info. for such a simple question.
Thanks,
BRC
