In reply to Remeron- feeling totally drugged! Help!!!, posted by Rachel Terese on July 15, 2004, at 19:12:59
> Hi- I started remeron last night. I passed out all night long and really felt so drugged that i wouldn't be able to get out of bed. I walked to work wanting to take a nap on the sidewalk. I have felt like a zombie all day long. I'm scared to take it tonight. I'm also having this horrible pain in my stomach that feels like heartburn which just coinicidentally(?) started today. I'm also taking 200mg/lamictal, 1mg/klonopin and 18/mg concerta. The concerta didn't do anything. I just felt drugged and shaky at the same time. I couldn't even speak to people... I've been feeling like a total retard all day. Does anyone have any advice? I'm so sick of trying new drugs. Nothing seems to work. Thanks so much for any advice!!!
If it were me, I would call in and leave a message for my doctor as soon as possible about how intolerable the drug appears to be. If it is too late in the day to get ahold of him, I would have to evaluate for myself what to do. My own particular bias is that I don't have a great deal of patience for drugs with intolerable side effects--I once dumped one after only two days. It was a situation very similar to yours where a drug was intolerably sedating, and I felt just absolutely horrible. I haven't taken Remeron myself, but I know that it does have a reputation for sedation. Perhaps someone here who has taken it might be able to give you a better idea of whether things might get better. Also, what is the dosage of Remeron you are taking?Todd
