Chris,I read that it increases serotonin release somehow.
I'm still trying to understand what it does. I
just know it works. I feel really drowsy though.
What I find is that my feelings of inner restlessness
go away as well as my headaches and sinuses. I actually
get a bit of a runny nose. If a drink caffeine it acts
as a very strong nasal decongestant indicating that
there are stores of norarenaline and dopamine working again.Remeron and benadryl never gave me this effect. maybe
the chemical structure of the medicine is doing something
outside the h1 antagonism.-John

Is it possible that its effect on serotonin (if you are taking a large dose, I'd expect its SRI effects to be significant) is why it's helping you?
