In reply to Ritch and 3Beers: Question, posted by rainbowlight on January 30, 2003, at 19:15:43
> Hi again Ritch. I have a question I thought you or 3Beers might be able to answer. When I was taking my Lamictal/Remeron/Zoloft combo I felt great, relaxed calm and happy. Now that I have taken the Remeron out of the equation and I have upped my Zoloft from 25 to 50 mgs. I don't feel good anymore, not calm and happy like before, just kind of "here". Was I experiencing what is called "hypomania" before or was I feeling like I am supposed to feel? Is there something I could change in my meds to get that happy feeling back or am I being unrealistic? I miss it!
Hi, I think it might have something to do with Remeron's ability to ensure good solid sleeping. I don't think you were experiencing hypomania from the Remeron, probably just a kicked-back relaxed sort of feeling. You might consider adding some lithium to your Lamictal+Zoloft+Restoril combo to get that back to some degree. I never got much weight gain from lithium. When I was taking 900mg at bedtime I never missed a full night's sleep I assure you!
