In reply to Remeron Side Effects, posted by Rick on April 10, 2000, at 2:10:51
Some three weeks ago I had a breakdown and was diagnosed with clinical depression. Besides therapy I was taking Zoloft 50mg and Trazadone 50mg. I had to stop taking the zoloft because I began having this bad side effect. It felt like I was itching underneath my skin and it would go over me in waves all day / night long. Also I became rather hyper.
I started taking Remeron 30mg and Trazadone 50mg every night for the past week. When before, things that would enrage me now only irritate me. It seems like my emotions have been somewhat blunted and in effect I can now deal with the emotions more easily now. However here are the side effects of taking the two together.
1. Vivid dreaming (woke up last night kicking an imaginary attacker)
2. I still wake up ALOT tho sleep is more refreshing
3. I get this 'jumping out of my skin' at noises feeling. Its like my hearing is a bit more hyper and it startles me. heh
4. A kind of 'spacey' feeling all day long at work. Nothing to bad but it is noticeable to me.
5. My normal emotions are somewhat blunted meaning that I am more indifferent to things, though I am handling life a bit easier right now.
6. Have an increased appetite (remeron i guess) so anyone taking that can expect to gain a bit more weight
Last night however I became irrational and started crying so then decided to drive 80mph on a country back road on a 45mph speed limit. Luckily I came out ok and calmed down. Medication seems to be working better though.
Have been on medication only 3 weeks so far and that is what I have noticed. I will keep yas updated if anything else happens.
