Hello all,
I have just been subscribed REmeron (my 10th AD) & am on lithium as well. I feel like a bit of a guinea pig as it was only approved for use in Aust. 5 days ago. Should I be worried? How long has it been around?
I'm close to having another round of ECT treatments if this doesn't help.
One positive - I've been on it for 10 days and have so far had no nausea or full-on sickness. (I'm usually a bad taker for side effects).Thanks

Remeron has been approved in the United States for 4 years, so its not really that new. It is good because:
--It can be used for all types of depression, anxiety, OCD, and insomnia.
--It is convienient because it is taken only once at bedtime.
--It may improve libido and sexual performance (its the only medication that improves mine). Dr. Bob Hsieung's fellow doctors recommend it for sexual dysfunction.
--You can take Remeron with most antidepressants except MAOIs.
--It has none of the anticholinergic effects of SSRIs.
--It has gained recognition as a very useful medication from psychiatrists in only four years of FDA approval.I myself started Remeron at 45 mg right away and had no side-effects. I had no weight gain or sedation during the day.

I used to take Remeron and it was wonderful for my mental state. My med. mix was 30 mg. Remeron, 5 mg. Zyprexa and 1 mg. Klonopin. So why did I stop taking Remeron? I too are sensitive to side effects and tend to get the most unusual kinds. I had these side effects ;gained wieght,bloated, had mouth sores, my eyes felt infected and had some strange pain in my leg. Everyone has a different response so give it a good try.:)
I am now trying Effexor XR. 2 weeks.
