> Hi there, out of curisoity what do u suffer with? I am currently taking 30mg remeron and i feel it has stopped working as my panick attacks and obsessions are at their worst so far.. i have asked for another medication but my doctor and i both said not another ssri snri or trylic as i have had bad reactions with all, i was going to ask about an maoi too.. ?
I suffer from chronic severe depression that is probably bipolar. There aren't too many things that I haven't tried. If you haven't yet tried a MAOI, I think it might be a reasonable option for you right now. Nardil in particular can exert an antiobsessional effect.I'm currently taking 60mg of Remeron in combination with Effexor and imipramine, and seem to be tolerating it very well. I may go up to 75 next week if nothing encouraging is happening by then. I don't think it makes sense to rule-out Remeron until one has taken 60mg for at least three weeks. Doctors in Europe tend to utilize Remeron more agressively, prescribing dosages as high as 90-120mg.
I will be curious to know in what direction your treatment goes. What are some of the things you have been thinking about trying?
