In reply to Remeron, H1 Blockade, posted by mb on April 25, 2002, at 23:28:27
My best friend started Remeron at 60 mg right away and had few side-effects. He had no weight gain or sedation during the day. Plenty of needed sedation at night though...
Why you, MB, should consider Remeron in significant doses and long-term:
--It can be used for all types of depression, anxiety, OCD, and insomnia.
--It is convienient because it is taken only once at bedtime.
--It may improve libido and sexual performance (its the only medication that improves mine). Dr. Bob Hsieung's fellow doctors recommend it for sexual dysfunction.
--You can take Remeron with most antidepressants except MAOIs.
--It has none of the anticholinergic effects of SSRIs.
--It has gained recognition as a very useful medication from psychiatrists in only four years of FDA approval.LINKS:
