> Hello guys
> I've just been out of the house for the first time in 3 days since I took that first Remeron tab.
> I'd started to feel back to normal, but while I was doing the shopping the phone rang, it was my Husband to see how I was feeling. I came over very light headed, and couldn't say much to him, I could tell he was worried, I was so out of it, but I could hardly speak, I felt like I was going to pass out.
>
> Then, as I was walking round, I felt a rage brewing inside me, I just wanted to get out of there, I've never felt like that before. I came home as quick as I could, although I felt very unfit to drive and unloaded the car.
> I felt like I was stoned.
> The dogs were getting under my feet as they usually do, and this anger just came from nowhere, I was screaming and shouting, I totally lost it, it was scary, then I just cried and cried. I'm also really paranoid.
>
> This is all since the Remeron, these symptoms aren't typical of my depression.
> Is this normal?

> Also, I've noticed I'm having trouble passing water since I took it, no ankle swelling yet though, anyone else?
>
> I feel like I've been on a really bad trip, does this go away? I'm starting to think these might not be right for me, and even if they are I don't know if I can go through a fortnight or more of this, and I couldn't go to work like this.

> I think my episode has passed now, but similar things were happening frequently yesterday.

> Starting to feel desperate, any ideas?

> I had the same experience on Remeron. I have had some success with effexor, celexa and zoloft and the benzos for anxiety. I took 30mg for 3 days. I felt lik a zombie. I couldnt think straight and was really out of it. I told my docter I could not continue. It was very firghtening at the time but the stoned and irritable feeling went away after about 4 days off the remeron. I am of the belief that unless you are desperate, do not continute with Remeron. Best wishes to you. Let me know if you have any other questions on my terrible Remeron experience.
