odors, good or bad, heat, lights, even staring at the computer screen, set off a panic-like reaction.I've even had to leave my own house after cooking something with a strong odor. I also have a tic disorder. When I started noticing this summer how frequent this was, I started writing them down, what would happen. Often the ticcing would start first, before the feelings of panic. Sometimes I would feel like I'm outside of my body or super out-of-it like 5 or so minutes before a whopper. They dont really last that long, but this hot & humid summer, whew, it was like a bbgun going off! So I told my dr. and she ordered a sleep-deprived eeg. So now I'm going to a neurologist next week, and want to know if there is explanation, and ask about alternative medications to treat this and my anxiety. I had these sensory problems before but NOTHING like on 75mg. remeron. I am very very slowly cutting back. But I really need to try something else. It sounds like topomax might be something I could ask about, including a beta-blocker.I dont like starting any drug at full dose anyway, too sensitive.
