thanks, Ravenstorm , for your support and suggestions. I actually have not gotten up the courage yet to taper/withdraw from the remeron to try the emsam. I have been on the remeron for 5 months now (after a year of trying 16 various drugs and combinations with unbearable and unlivable side effects...) I am savoring the ability to sleep at night and "having my anchor again." At some point I will need to get off this drug so I can be fully functional again, but as we all know, the depression/anxiety puts one's life in the toilet. So for now I am coasting. Managing to work 3 days a week as a nurse and somewhat be there for my husband and 2 kids. They miss the "active mom," though, I know. But I just keep telling myself that at least I am here..... I almost wasn't a few months back.
So, thanks for the suggestions and support. I will definetely check out the website you suggested. Just knowing that some other meds may come down the pipeline gives comfort. And best of luck with your med choices. everyone: keep us posted.
warmly,
gigi
