In reply to Ondansetron for Psychotropic-Induced Memory Loss?, posted by Rick on June 5, 2002, at 19:15:38

Rick,I didn't know about its potential for use for SSRI memory loss, etc. However, I was personally more interested in its use to combat SSRI-induced diarrhea and acid reflux. I took it in the hospital post-op after thyroid surgery (with morphine) and was sitting up eating soft food and juice just a few hours later and didn't have any trouble at all with nausea or reflux. I wonder when the patent is to expire on it? Remeron also is a potent 5-HT3 antagonist, and I felt particular relief from IBS and GERD symptoms while taking Remeron, but its other pharmaco activity made me confused and forgetful as can be.
