> i been taking 30mg of remeron for over a year now, nothing else has ever helped me, all ssris snris raise my bp and hrt rate and prothiadan and trazadone made me feel like my hrt was gonna stop gave me a panicky reaction when i took them, so i am with remeron on 30 mg for little over a yr, helped some what with anxiety not 100% but not as bad as i used to be, about 2/3 weeks ago i started obsessing over my hrt, my chest like and i was panicking for days i was to afraid to go to my docs so i took myself to the doc on call and he prescribed me 5mg valuim 6 of them to take as needed and to go see my doctor, week later i went to my doctor and he didnt liek the idea of me taking valuim but he did give me a prescription for 28 2mg to be taken as needed, i havent taken any of the 2mg and i still have a few 5mg left from the doctor on call, when i took 5 mg last saturday morning about 11am then another 5mg about 3 pm to keep me calm for a bbq i was really calm, and i felt even better on sunday, then when i took 5mg on tuesday as its a hectic day i was still anxious, and felt a little panicky, obviousley now i am worried because of wat happened 2 yrs ago to what happened tuesday... any ideas? I am off to greece in 3 w eeks a nd dreading it!!

Why don't you increase your Remeron? 30mg is considered a standard dose. Go up to 45mg and see if it helps with your anxiety and obsessing.
