> I have felt exsactly the same, especially the aching bones and muscles. I also had a sore throat and earaches. It seems to get worse for a week or two after you titrate ...and then evens out. The last time I titrated up to 75mg, these SE's wouldn't go away..worst ever..so I have gone back down to 50 and may even go to 25mg...I am feeling better at the lower dose physically...but still felling depressed.
Good Luck!

> Hmm...so my gut feeling may be right. My latest symptoms just seemed too nondescript and sporadic, and my internist had blood drawn - normal. I was starting to suspect the drug. I certainly had odd symptoms on Gabitril that caused me to stop it. I also recall feeling a bit fluish for a few days both times I started up Remeron. I'll hang out at my current dosage for a little while to let my body adjust and see what happens, and mention it to my pdoc.
