Remeron......is it a second-rate drug?

Posted by McPac on May 28, 2003, at 17:32:30

Just wondering why many doctors (I was just reading Dr. Heller's site too) feel that Remeron seems to be more of an "augmentation"-type drug...they'll say that it is a very useful drug but that it seems to work better as an add-on rather than a stand-alone drug in many/most cases....is it 'too weak' as an anti-dep/anti-anxiety/anti-ocd med to do the whole job on it's own? I know it's awesome for some but it doesn't seem to be in the "top" of it's class? Just wondering.....

Yes, it does have that reputation. Remeron can be extremely effective for a smaller range of people.
It does have troublesome effects on start up. For those taking these drugs for the first time, horrible start up effects can turn a patient against treatment.

I personally didn't find it as effective as Celexa but from the feel of it, I can imagine those who might.
