I was taking 30mg of Remeron (Zispin this side of the pond) for about six months.
The first week I was very groggy and slept alot. The next couple of weeks it was nothing more than a helpful sleeping aid.
After three weeks or so it dident do much for my sleeping anymore but I found my usual "panic reaction" to everyday situations had eased, I still felt fear and needed my benzos but the onset of panic was slowed down, I dident have that vile adrenaline rush of fear, I had time to adjust to the situation.
I never felt Remeron lift my mood, I was still depressed but I had more energy to exercise and look after myself. It wasent untill I came off it that I relised how much it really was helping my depression and how fatigued I was without it.
I attempted suicide on Remeron so I was takin off it, other factors including alcohol where to blame so dont worry.
This AD is fantastic for anxiety but that was about it for me.
Another good point about this drug is it had hardly any side effects, I dident gain any weight (my doc told me I might) and it did not effect my sex drive what so ever. It did slow down the effects of cannabis though which was a bummer.
