In reply to Remeron, not great for all, posted by johnj on July 25, 2002, at 21:02:43
> Remeron at 7.5 mg made me a zombie and made the depression worse. The higher I went the "better" I felt, but became "sponge-brained" and it NEVER went away. It was great for sleep, and helped anxiety, but made me less alert and mistake prone at work. It was strange how it helped concentration, but ruined short term memory. I felt the best in years for a week or so after stopping remeron. Maybe it had some residual effect on seretonin after the zoned out feeling wore off, but remeron is not for everyone.
Yes, I too did not have a good experience with Remeron though my doc may have done it wrong according to Shawn T. I started Wellbutrin 150 mg and Remeron 30 mg at the same time. The first couple days I felt decent, anxiety was wiped away for the most part immediately. The pits of my shirt were actually dry! But by the end of the week, I was feeling more miserable than I had in a long time and the anxiety was basically back. Shawn T., any thoughts?
