Hi Petters.

This is the right place to ask questions like this one. I have no personal experience with Remeron.

Are you experiencing anxiety, heart palpitations, or dizziness? Perhaps chronic Remeron is increasing cortisol levels and leaving you vulnerable to infection. Too much norepinephrine release?

Lamictal can produce a chronic throat irritation that feels like an infection. Have you raised the dosage recently? Have you experienced dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis), dry scalp, or dry skin on your face? I don't know if there is a pharmacokinetic interaction between Lamictal and Remeron.

Wild guesses. :-)

Hi Scott...

Thanks a lot for you reply. I really appreciate your always so knowledge answer. sometims a lot more substans in your answer than many doctors I visit. By the way you asked me once about my sex, if I don´t remember wrong. I am male and 39 years old, lives i Sweden.

I have not experiencing anxiety, heart palpitation. But dizziness from heights. I am not using Lamotrigin. My current coctail: Venlafaxine 300 mg + 60 mg Mirazepine + Litium ( 0,6 mmol/L) + 20mg Ziprasidone.

I have use Mirazepine for 3 years, in combo with Venlafaxine. I have had severel throat infection and sinus during these years, more than before Mirazepine. I started Ziprasidon for five weeks ago and after two week I had an throat infection. Can this be a sign of to mutch norepinephrine release, since Ziprasidone also bost NA receptors.

One problem Scott: This combo work well for my cronic depression ( my guess bipolar 2)
what can I replace Mirazepine with? Preferably some meds take at nigts with sedative properties, and without server sexuell side efect. What do you think.

By the way. What about you? Have you heard about memantine in U.S, when will they realese it. Have you tried Citalopram?

Stay well....//Petters
