Okay, I really feel like a wimp. I've done so many drug trials to treat my mild depression, lack of energy, anxiety and am used to really hanging in there through the initial side effects to see if a med will work or not.
Last night I took 7.5mgs of Remeron (first night). I have been in bed all day, can't think straight, just waiting for this to wear off. I drank a tall coffee to try to get me out of bed (and I usually can't handle coffee) but just fell back asleep. I have a headache as well.
I was warned I would be tired until I got up to higher doses, but wow, I'm just not willing to put myself through who knows how long this sedation will last.
So I'm bailing and am going to re-think my plan. About all that's left is a MAOI trial, but I think I'll try to just get through the holidays with klonopin alone (which Isn't so bad) before I do this again.
About the only other drug I can recall trying where I had to bail so fast was serzone. Everyone's chemistry is different.......
