I was doing ok on remeron then read something about fish oil. After a couple days of adding it to my daily remeron, I noticed a huge improvement. No anxiety, no depression, happy, upbeat. Then I thought "Hey, I probably don't need the remeron anymore and I'll just take fish oil!". Add to that I started reading Depression is a Choice, and thought I had all the answers.
Well, after tapering off the remeron, panic attacks just suddenly popped up outa nowhere and sleep became almost impossible (unless I was driving, then I could barely keep my eyes open).
I decided to add 1 mg of klonopin. That worked great! Then it stopped working and I didn't want to keep upping my dose.
Now the doc's trying me on zoloft and doxepin at night. The zoloft is making me feel kinda crazy and I'm giving it one more week.
I'm so afraid that if I go back on the remeron it's not going to work again like it used to, and there's really nothing else that has worked for me (I've only had success with sedating AD's)
I think I made a horrible mistake!
