> Taking prozac with remeron should not present any problem at all. Many doctors prescribe remeron in combination with an SSRI. I am taking lexapro with remeron and it has not been a problem. Wondering why are you stopping lexapro - did it not work for you?
Lexapro (20mg) worked great for a few years and then pooped out in me early this year.
I thought I'd keep going with it but the depression and anxiety got so bad recently that my pdoc decided to move me to Remeron. Thinking about it now I should have moved to another med earlier as I've been suffering for months now.
I've only been on Remeron for just over a week so it hasn't kicked in and I've been off Lexapro for a few days which has been enough for withdrawal symptoms to start.
