In reply to Jill, re: Remeron Anxiety, posted by McPac on September 19, 2002, at 15:27:18
> Jill, did you have any anxiety problems before starting your Remeron? I've heard many say that Remeron, well, 'sucks' for anxiety because it increases the norepinephrine (and/or) noradrenaline levels?
> Has it affected anxiety for you, either good or bad? thanks!I know your question is directed to Jill, but since Remeron is the only drug I'm taking right now and anxiety is one of the things it has been MOST helpful with, I had to respond. Remeron has helped me so much with the anxiety that I now know how really debilitating my anxiety was. I recently increased my dose to 60 mg. because the 45 mg. I was on was starting to "poop out". One way I knew it was starting to poop out was that my anxiety began to increase again. With the increase in dose my anxiety has once again quieted. But I realize that not everyone responds the same way to the same drug. It has been a tremendous help to me.
Take Care,
Lynda
