In reply to Remeron and increased anxiety, posted by cwig on March 31, 2004, at 10:25:07
Hey cwig,----yep!! Remeron made me mad! I quit taking it 8 weeks ago after being on it since last July. So I could try Lamictal and pdoc said just quit it so I did. However the Lamictal gave me too much stimulation-so I have convinced my doc that I needed to go off The Lam. (various reasons) I have found that since the Lamictal energized me too much-so to speak I have on my own - reintroduced only 15 mg of remeron to be able to sleep... it is a bizarre med. as many here on PB will attest to ! the lower the dose the drowsier it makes you- at 30 mg it made me tired but during the day, it DEF. DID MAKE MY ANXIETY WORSE! I felt like biting peoples heads off. I don't know if that was a bi-polar type reaction or not -It does seem that the higher the dose, the more pronounced the Norepinephrine effects become apparent- thus the reason for increased anxiety- also wierd is the fact at certain mgs of remeron you have more hunger and carb cravings. I wish I could just find balance!
I am sure you do too! Don't give up ! ;)
