Here I go with my DISASTER. I have had the flu. I have not taken my remeron for 3 days. So here I am, last night laying in bed, and it all begins. I started feeling like i was going to die and i have this horrible twich in my right arm and finger. I can see my pulse in my finger all day and at night... ifeel like a strain in my arm. I have NO idea what it is. I think my nerves are all screwed up. I wish I had insursance. Anyways, I eventually took my 3.5 mg of REMERON and knocked out. Here it is... 8AM at work... feeling like shit. Am i going to have to take remeron for the rest of my life. I take TINY TINY little pieces of it just to sleep. I use to take the FULL 15mg and it did nothing. Well Im losing all little hope that i ever had. I can't take this feeling. I cant take the side effects of medications. SO honestly, HONESTLY, there is no HOPE FOR ME! When i get a doctor sometime in the future. I am going to tell him I am suicidal and maybe then i will keep some help. ANy advice would be SOOOO appreciated.

Hi,I think there is still hope for you. Hang
in there, I know its tough.I'm sorry about your insurance situation.
I was recommending a trial of Zyprexa or a
similar medicine, I think it would be the next
wise step. But i don't know if the cost would
be prohibitive. Another option may be an
anti-convulsant like Neurontin, but I personally
lean towards a low dose anti-psychotic (someone
else can chime in).Also, read my response to you about Lamictal above .
Btw, Remeron helps with sleep mainly because it is
an anti-histamine. You may just as well be taking
over the counter benadryl products.Regards,
