In reply to Serious Problem: SSRI's making depression worse, posted by John1022 on October 1, 2003, at 10:58:59
Prozac made depression worse. Paxil made depession worse. A new pdoc added Remaron to Paxil and it was a miracle! A true life saver! My mood depression has improved 95% (in three weeks). My debilitaing SAD is, likwise, 95% controlled. My insomnia is down anout 75%.
Bring norephinephine into play as well as seratonin. Because Remaron increases production of both neurotransmitters (instead of blocking reuptake), and because it has different action on the receptors, it is synergistic with SSRIs.
Find the right balance of the two, enhanced in the right way. Options are SSRIs, SNRIs, SSNRIs and Remaron.
There are less convention options but this is a promising strategy if all you've tried is upping your seratonin through reuptake blocking.
