Thanks Barb, I'm feeling a bit unhelpable at the moment. Have loads of tests run through a wholistic MD but I either have bizarre results that they haven't seen or I can't take the cure due to my stomach problems. Hormone test came back with elevated progesterone levels (like TWICE as much progesterone as I should have). They can't give me a hormone creme to take away too much progesterone now can they? The massive amounts of progesterone do explain why I am having the horrible/debilitating blood sugar swings on remeron. Too much progesterone=wacked blood sugar. Of course I suppose this could be reversed, that remeron is messing with my progesterone etc etc. It has definitely thrown my whole freakin' cycle off. I know I can't have a life until I get off the freakin' remeron and get rid of all of its horrible side effects but I can't even cut it in half without withdrawals and I don't know what the hell I would take next anyway.
Waiting to get some compounded remeron and start a slow descent off, which shouldn't be much fun since suppossedly I will get more side effects as I drop the dose. Don't you just want to get a new brain? Actually, I'd even settle for a new stomach. At least that way I could take the freakin' SSRI I need to get on with my life.
