Makes me tired in the afternoons, makes me feel horrible after missing only 1 dose, delays orgasm until I get tired trying and after drinking amounts of alchohol as small as one beer feels like if I missed the dose and then the next day I don't have libido at all.}

> On Remeron I don't have any sexual side effects and I can sleep well (too well!). But I get very irritable during the whole day, I get knocked out 1 hour after taking the pill and overall I look like a crazy paranoid while I'm talking. After I drink small amounts of liquour, I feel like I'm going to have an attack of St. Vitus desease (if you know what I'm talking about). Also, I'm feeling a little more cold, cruel and "evil" lately, if you know what I'm talking about. Apart from that, I have been aphonic during the last say, 7 days. People say my voice is changing. I am also eating like a pot smoker, but a few extra kilos will be good for me. I also feel a little imprudently dishinibited. There is maybe a couple more side effects that I may forget to mention.

> HELP! I need advice about husband who started remeron an topamax about three weeks ago for depression (he didn't think he was all that depressed) and has turned into a detached, uncaring ass! Oh, without a sex drive, too. He doesn't seem to be aware that he is acting/feeling differently, but I see it and feel it. It's getting so bad, I think we might just throw in the towel and give up. I am no stranger to antidepressants (I took zoloft for years, pooped out, switched to lexapro (whole OTHER subject) and I take clonazapam.
Anyone got any suggestions about why the pdoc would start him out on a tricyclic instead of something newer? I feel like I'm losing my best friend and soul mate....
