Cole:
Go figure, but I'm one of those people who ALWAYS has to read the package insert whenever I start to take a new med...and, of course, I had to read Remeron's. (This is usually to my detriment since my high anxiety level usually kicks in....)
BUT, I do remember reading that Remeron can affect the immune system, specifically your white blood cells, and it is recommended this be monitored closely...sounds like you need to inform your pdoc...and if the end of Fall Qtr is too far away...well, in my humble opinion...I would get another pdoc...or go to an internist or something...because everything you've listed is in the package insert.
Sorry, don't know of any alternatives for you, but definitely talk to your pdoc again...even if you have to take a copy of the insert, complete with the glaring yellow highlights!
Wishing you well...and let me know how it goes.
Jane
