> Glad things are going well. I've enjoyed reading the dialog between you and Bluedog. I've come to the conclusion as well that I am probably someone who needs to be on an antidepressant all the time. Every time I've gone off I've relapsed, and it seemed like each relapse was worse than the one before. I used to not be able to identify with people who would contemplate taking their own life, but I eventually came to that place myself -- REALLY Scarey! I never want to go back there again, and if I have to take pills for the rest of my life to stay away from there, then I will take pills for the rest of my life! -- even yucky ones like Zoloft! (it did work, it just made me memory-impaired) But Remeron has been a Godsend to me because it works and it doesn't make me memory-impaired. 20 more pounds? -- So what. I went from a size 6 to size 10 - big deal. Overeating never was and still isn't my coping mechanism. The weight is a very small concession in exchange for "getting my life back"!

Thanks much Lynda. I share your sentiments exactly about the need to stay on ADs to prevent any other trips down to the depths. I'm glad that the Remeron is still working out and wish you the best.
