"One man's medicine is another man's poison."
Thank you very much, but i recently finished a course of interferon and rebatron chemical therapy last year which really depleted my blood cells, so i really am reluctant to consider Remeron for the reason that i don't want to get leukemia from it's known risk of agranulocytosis, because of this, and mostly for the reason that i don't want to become overweight which would be a given if i took Remeron. i will consult with my psychiatrist about starting Welbutrin in conjunction with a small dosage of Ativan or Traxene. i should be prudent about safety and my long term health, for i have a older brother who is obese now (about 300 pounds or more) and had one or both of his testicles surgically removed because of cancer, and i very highly suspect the potent psychotropics he took over the years as the main contributer for his health damage. Thanks again very much for your advice.
