>Hi Kara,
I'm still on it, too scared to go off it. :) I was on Effexor + Remeron, I'm now on Effexor + Nortriptyline. (and a bunch of other stuff).
I have atypical depression and was plagued with unrelenting feelings of guilt & worthlessness combined with daily suicide ideation until I took Effexor which made me relatively happy. Remeron counters most of Effexor's unwanted side effects(Insomnia, Anorgasmia & Nausea) and cured my inital insomnia & hypersomnia.
Cheers,
Panda.
