> I've been on it for months. Now at 60mg. I can't concentrate for more than about 30 seconds. I get sleepy. Everything looks strange, a bit like the world is made of plastic. At best it makes me feel even more numb than usual. I miss feeling sad; it seems so much better than this numb, bored ache. I thought I'd feel more emotions and motivation on anti-depressants, but I feel less instead. The world seems really worthless. I'm going to tell my psychiatrist I want to change. He's already suggested combining mirtazipine with sodium valproate, but I don't understand why.

> I feel uncomfortably numb, not overwhelmed with unhappiness. I find it hard to work on anything because it gives me no satisfaction. I'm bored with life. What does anyone recommend?Since you asked, I personally would recommend substituting Zyprexa in place of Remeron. Consider taking Prozac with it. Like you, I was on Remeron for quite a while, and it caused me weird things too. When I switched to Zyprexa I was amazed at the new world that opened up to me.
