Remeron interactions with a 6-med cocktail?

Posted by fachad on February 8, 2005, at 13:47:15

Does anyone know if there are any interactions or serious problem with adding Remeron to this cocktail:

Amitriptyline 150mg/day
Flexaril 10 mg/day
Librium 20mg/day
Paxil 20mg/day
Gabatril 16mg/day
Risperdal 0.25mg/day

This cocktail has been taken at these dosages for years, so this person is quite used to the expected effects of these drugs in these dosages in this combination. Just curious if anyone knows if Remeron is specifically contraindicated in this case, or if there are any major drug-drug interactions that could cause serious problems.

Thanks

hey! I wouldn't think remeron would be a problem at all...the only possible problem might be with elavil, paxil, and remeron all stimulating serotonin...you might run the risk of the dreaded serotonin syndrome. BUT, that said, everything is in such small doses, and combining antidepressants is so common, that I personally doubt you'll have any problems.
