nope, there is no student health service here; Im in the great state of mississippi lol. and no drs here are covered by insurance. so now I have to relay info through mom to dr at home (since it seems impossible for him to get ahold of me here; roommates tying up the phone line, etc.)
and I have never tried remeron, probably a year ago my dr gave me a choice between remeron & celexa, I tried celexa & so I still have the two weeks of remeron left. and the date is still good too. I left a message for the dr to call mom & let her know. thanks for the suggestions.> > in your opinion do you see any problem with me switching from the prozac to remeron in less than a day? is that too soon, or do you advise me not to switch them myself at all? (I'm still on the neurontin & lithium). I've never had a problem with lith/prozac combination & I'll stay away from grapejuice. the reason it's so important is I've started feeling awful, and I'm away at college. haven't been able to get in touch with dr yet, but I have samples of remeron from a year ago or something. sorry to bother you. thanks soooo much.

In other words it will be interacting for a long time to come. I'm hoping that the change of header will concern other posters enought to make them jump in here.
