Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply.
Wanted to know about the remeron to take the edge off of some of the anxiety.
I had a severe reaction to the marplan, just like I seem to do with all meds.
Pdoc started me out at 10mg. Each day I felt worse and by day 4 was vomitting and felt like I just wanted to die. Not suicidal, but more like if I died, it would be o.k.
So, thats pretty much it for me as far as meds go. My body seems to have extreme reactions to everything. After years of trying all meds, I'm just worn out physically, emotionally, and mentally. I'm trying a new route. I am beginning to think that mine is not a chemical imbalance, just more of a thought inbalance.
Went to see a reiki healer yesterday and today am feeling alot calmer. Have also lined up a psychologist who specializes in anxiety and agoraphobia. Hopefully along with amping up my supplements, exercise and diet, some intense CBT will work with time.
I can take zanax and remeron in low doses to help manage if I need to, but I don't think meds are the right answer for me as much as I just need to retrain my brain.
With time and patience, maybe this path will work.
Courtney
