My problem is compound: I have temporal lobe seizures, I experience tremendous terror and anxiety, and I have one, just one, particular phobia that kicks into overdrive and DRIVES ME NUTS. The phobia interferes with some activities & my daily life. I know it's completely irrational but it's an obsessive fear and it's virtually impossible to get it out of my head. It sounds like from what some of you are writing that a low dose could be effective in getting off this particular OCD train of thought. I don't know if it fuels the anxiety or if the anxiety fuels the phobia... the perrenial chicken/egg question!Of course if it also helps anxiety and depression...sounds like something good for my situation (hope its not something that lowers the seizure threshold to where I have to worry).
I am also very med sensitive...tried Luvox, worked somewhat but couldn't tolerate:-( Remeron has done zip with this.
I really appreciate all (and more if anyone else posts) the information and experience you provide. You've helped me make an important decision. I'm definitely going to ask to try this while I'm tapering off the rem...
Again apologies to Joy! thanks again...
