In reply to Started Remeron 2 weeks ago and freaking, posted by Leah57 on January 5, 2004, at 11:58:50
> I started Remeron 2 weeks ago for severe anxiety and depression, it has not had the desired result, I took 15mg for 7 day then 30 for 7 days.
> I feel like I'm on speed, so anxious I could crawl out of my skin, still waking in the wee hours of the morning and still need sleep tablet at night and ativan during day. What is wrong, I'm ready to give up, can't take ssri's because of increased anx on them and tricyclics make my heart pound and race and skip beats. Please help anybody!Hmm... that's odd. I would give it a little more time. Remeron is actually an antagonist of Serotonin(5HT-2 & 5HT-3 receptors). So it works in a different way than SSRI's. It's been shown in studies to be more effective most of the time for anxiety than depression. I was actually thinking about giving it a shot for my anxiety, poor appetite and nausea. Do you find it makes you eat more?
