In reply to Remeron and Venlafaxine, posted by sweetmarie on April 5, 2001, at 6:24:30
I've been taking remeron for 8 weeks and am now up to 45mg's a day. I believe that the remeron has begun to break through the depression. My doc has given me some effexor xr samples. I am considering augmenting the remeron, but I do not want to take large doses of effexor (there are just too many posts here about effexor side effects). Would 75mg or 100mg doses of effexor be sufficent as an augmentor to remeron? This is my first experience with AD's and I hope to quit using them 8 to 10 months after I have broken the depression. Would I be better off sticking to a single med. ? Would a 3 or 4 month run of the combination, then tapering back to just the remeron be of benefit?
thanks,
Mark
