"I look at Remeron on SLS's chart and see 5HT and NE antagonisms. I would think that aggravates the OCD and ADD and maybe the depression as well. I don't see a rationale for taking it".
>>>>>>>>>>> Dsch, Re: 5HT and NE 'antagonisms'---does antagonism (in simple speak, lol) mean that it will INCREASE the serotonin and NE activity?
"I would be thinking about Effexor at a stiff dose, 5HT-RI for the OCD component and NE-RI for the ADD component".
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 5HT-RI increases serotonin activity (right?), so NE-RI would increase NE activity (correct?) Question Please: WHAT is the difference between 5HT antagonism and 5HT-RI (in simple speak again, please?)
I like Remeron at a LOW DOSE (7.5 or 15 mg) but HATE it at a higher dose (45 mg for SURE, don't know about 22.5-30mg or so, don't recall what it feels like there).
