you know what's weird: i also had a horribly adverse reaction to Remeron. it was the second med i tried, and at 30mg it made my OCD 1000x times worse. i cold turkeyed off after 2 weeks of hell, told my doc i felt foggy, but he said it was just depression (which i had never really suffered before). i believed him, and continued with trials. what's weird is that a really low dose of Prozac fixed the problem w/ attention, etc. almost immediately, but i couldn't sleep so came off it. i know absolutely nothing about neurochem, but don't both remeron and prozac have some effect on the frontal cortex?
that was about a year ago, and i've been on the bandwagon of SSRI's, MAOI's, etc. since trying to fix a depression which seemed caused by the loss of functioning i felt after Remeron.
i am actually compiling a really detailed history at the moment of every drug i've been on, my exact reactions, etc., so if anyone has some insight into Remeron's actions and what brain area it might have overloaded in me, that will be extremely helpful. and for the record, i too suffered anhedonia after coming off.
