In reply to Cough develops after starting Remeron, posted by Wings on May 3, 2001, at 19:56:03
Hope it's nothing serious. However, not trying to cause any undue alarm, but if the cough does not get any better, and if sore throat, and fever set in, you should notify your doctor immediately. During clinical trials of Remeron, 2 (out of 2,796) participants developed agranulocytosis (critical drop in white blood cell count) with associated signs and symptoms e.g., fever, infection, etc. A third patient developed critical drop in white blood cell count without any associated symptoms. For these 3 patients, the onset of agranulocytosis was detected on days 61, 9, and 14 of treatment, respectively. Agranulocytosis is a serious medical condition that can potential lead to death (the body unable to ward off infection) if not detected and treated immediately.

> I started taking Remeron about 14 days ago. Started out on 30Mg and after about 10 days now up to 45Mg in the evening. Developed a terrible cough which everyone tells me is allergies (they don't know I take any kind of medications) and to get allergy medication.I am coughing a good part of the day, especially when talking to people or on the phone at work. Started taking Cough Medicine..Robitussin and it did nothing. I have no congestion so I'm wondering if these could be the "flu like" symptoms people possibly describe. I started taking an allergy med today (allegra) and will see if this has any effect. Anybody else have a similar reaction??
