Wow, So I'm not the only one I know of who's been on an SRI a-d since 1995! I was on Paxil since then and stopped it (poop out) this Spring. I've since tried Celexa (yuck), EffexorXR (yuck) and before I got to Paxil, I'd tried Zoloft (some luck, but then plateau'd and began feeling irritable).
Since I have bouts of depression, frequent anxiety and used to get hyper and slightly manic (doc thinks I'm Bipolar II), doc is thinking that the *right* dose of Lamictal I(plus Zyprexa and Klonopin) might do the trick.
However, there's also the chance I will need a serotonin a-d, and my main choices at this point seem to be Serzone, Remeron or maybe Luvox. I'm leaning toward Remeron or Luvox. The weight gain situation with Remeron scares me (it finally passed with the Zyprexa).
Glad to hear that you "love" Remeron. Great sleep with no am hangover! And lucky you to not have gained weight. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON REMERON?
