Hi Julia~
Have you tried Remeron? I used it for a short period and it leveled out anxiety & mild agitation that I wasn't even aware I had!
My mother, who suffers from mild to moderate Alzheimer's had a terrible problem w/anxiety/agit. 3 mos. ago, but she has become much more serene on low-dose Rem.(15 mgs.).
Remeron provided me with the best sleep (most rejuvenative, most natural feeling) I ever had.
But, it did little for my apathy, anhedonia, avoidance problems.
And it gave me an appetite like there was no tomorrow. Great for the somewhat underweight of us, like my mom, who is 5'5' & 100 lbs.
Being already well over my goal weight, I dropped the med. But, I do think it has many good qualities.
Z.
p.s.I don't know if Rem. is available in U.K.
Hope so.
> I have been suffering from an agitated
depression for the last 10 weeks,it came on after I sropped dothiepin(a tricyclic available in the UK).
