In reply to My visit to the doctor - he recommended remeron?, posted by Jaynee on January 29, 2003, at 15:34:32
Remeron...Hmmm... well I've heard lots of bad things, and a few good things about that med. I never tried it because of the weight gain issue. I have a big problem with motivation, and I know Remeron can make it worse. I've had Dr's mention it, and I said no way!! I don't have a problem with my weight right now, but I don't want to start having one. Remeron really helped a friend of mine out who was suicidal, she was so depressed. She did gain a little weight, but she also has a problem with anorexia, so gaining weight was ok for her.
I'm happy to hear you feel better, maybe not much, but you have to start somewhere. I hope those self abusive thoughts stay below the surface. But if for some reason they surface, please tell someone!!!
Yes, it is so nice to be able to talk about your problems here. I am much more comfortable talking about them here than I am in person with someone.
Keep your chin up, things will get better. Just stay on those meds. Keep us updated!!
