> Lynda, I called my Doc in tears today and told her I didn't want to take another one of these pills again. I couldn't even fit into my cute sweatpants to go pick up sandwiches for the superbowl! It was then that I just lost it. This anti-depressent has made me so depressed, It looks like I'm going to" try " to go off of it cold turkey.

I meant to respond to this even though I'm late in doing so. I feel much compassion for you. I know how discouraging it is when you're trying one med. after another searching for what will bring you back to the state of emotional wellness that you once had in the past. I had tried a LONG list before my pdoc (a new one) tried me on the Remeron. I was SO SEVERELY depressed and had been so for SO LONG that the relief that the Remeron was offering me was all that mattered. I didn't give a rip about the extra pounds. I bought bigger clothes and was just happy that I was actually feeling happy. It's only now that I've been "well" for a while that the pounds are really starting to bug me.
I hope you find the right med. to help get you back to feeling good again. I wish I could make a suggestion of a different one to try, but all the other meds I tried either didn't work well enough or had side-effects that were even worse than the Remeron.
Best wishes and a prayer for you (if that's o.k. with you)
Lynda
