Hi to all who responded with support for my Remeron side-effects woes! To update;I didn't take it at all on Sat. night, cuz I REALLY needed to function on Sunday (sons B'day). DID NOT SLEEP WELL AT ALL! However, during the day all my side-effects disappeared. No drowsiness, dizziness, uncoordination, no slurred speech, irritability, stiff knees/ankles and NO EDEMA! So I'm sure they were caused by the Remeron, rather than withdrawing from Celexa. Then Sunday night I took 45mg (up from 30) and WOW what a great day today! After a wonderful long sleep, I was groggy for about an hour. Then slightly foggy at times,but NO uncoordination, NO dizziness, NO irritability and NO EDEMA! Hooray. Hope this continues....am prepared for changes since this drug has a real long half-life in women, but so far I'm very optimistic. I go to see my doc on Thurs and will tell him about this board for his other patients. You guys are wonderful, thanks :) And to others having struggles, hang in there and keep trying!
