I just got out of the hospital last week, and while I was in, my doctor prescribed the Remeron (30 mg) when I was in there. At the time of going into the hospital, I was suicidel. I was on Paxil for almost a month at that time, and the only changes from that was the normal side affects from that. It picked me up a little bit, but the downward spiral had already started. 99% of my problems is chemical. There are quite a few side affects that have occured immediately. The first night I took it I slept for 36 hours. The following day I was ok. You can get a really good look into the side affects by looking at the other posts. Where I differ is that I also have ADD. Without caffene I am mellow, and normal. When I have any caffene at all, I am estatic. I am bouncing all over the place like I was when I was a kid. I shake, and have microconvulsions, to muscle spasms. I am euphoric, but drugged. My doctor prescribed Zyprexa for those times. I find that it organizes my thoughts, but makes me extremely drowsy. I am currently trying to limit the caffene intake to see if it helps. The medicaton also makes me sweat alot, have the cotton mouth, raised my blood pressure dramaticly, and gives me nightmares. The nightmares are a result of the mind releasing the problems I have had in the past, and have been told is normal with anyone in my situation. Overal, I would view this drug as good. I am hoping I can just go to the Paxil again in a year or so. I wouldnt want to be on this drug for over 2 years, but it is certainly a good short term medicine.
