John,
I just wanted to thank you. Your advice and reassurance has turned my life around. You gave me the confidence to find a Dr who would try my augmentation idea of Remeron with Anafranil. I am now on Remeron (45mg) and Anafranil (75mg). From day one, I've felt as though I have my life back! The Remeron at the raised dose has demolished most of my OCD, anorexic, depressed and anxious feelings. I have hope again! I am enjoying my life again, for the first time in a decade! The Anafranil helps me to sleep (the raised dose of Remeron acts like a stimulant on me and was keeping me awake before I got the Anafranil prescription). The only problem I have had is extreme Hypotension, caused by a condition called hypokalaemia (to do with pottassium depletion). The Anafranil brought it on but my extremely low body weight is excacerbating it. This has kept me from logging onto the internet for weeks now. Fortunately, potassium is easy to come by in low calorie foods, like grapefruits and oranges (which I am not scared to eat), so things are starting to stabalize and I feel a lot better. And, I am starting to relax a bit about eating anyway, so I may even gain some weight!
Again, Thankyou!
hope things are going okay for you.
Caroline
