In reply to SO MUCH PREASSURE IN MY NOSE!, posted by Latinlover on October 21, 2002, at 15:16:47
Hi
I took Remeron. I know what you mean about the pressure in the nose. It was hard for me to tell if it was in my head or more focused in the center of my nasal cavity. I remember pulling on my temples to try and relieve the pressure. Anyway, it went away after several weeks. Not sure how many, it could have been 3, could have been 8, but it went away.
Antidepressants aren't like antibiotics. Though you can build a resistance, it usually doesn't happen from taking a higher dosage. And even if it does "poop out," you can usually find another that works since they are all unique.
The way my doc put it, you have to find the right dosage for you, otherwise it will not be nearly as effective. It is not a gradual relief, like with tylenol, it's more like a jump. For example, someone might not be affected at all by 15mg Remeron, but at 45mg, they completely respond. So you have to find the right dosage for you, the most effective dosage. And yes, sometimes more is worse. For me, 30 wasn't enough and 60 was too much, it just depends on the person. But don't worry, taking 45mg instead of 15mg will not make you any more resistant to medicine. And if you don't respond at 15mg, it doesn't mean you are "resistant" to it, it just means it's not enough.
Take care,
Charlie
