I'm one of those who experienced the rage on Remeron. It may be a very good drug, and I know it's been great for a lot of people, but don't underestimate the side effects based on that article. I'm a very quiet person, rarely raise my voice, and have NEVER had any sort of a temper tantrum.
On Remeron, I told my husband to stay away from me, because I was afraid I'd hurt him. I avoided my cats for the same reason. I didn't drive, for the same reason.
It wasn't irritability, it was full on, out of control rage. And it was scary as all get out.
Otherwise, I know it's a very helpful drug for a lot of people. It's just that I worry when I see too much enthusiasm, just as I worry when I see too much skepticism...
I'll go shut up again now...
