In reply to High Dose Effexor plus Remeron, posted by denise1966 on May 24, 2006, at 7:15:54
Only when 15 mg. Remeron was added to my very high Effexor dose several years ago, did I get severe edema in my feet and ankles, that then broke open, and developed into a rash - that was between my toes and already up to my knees - before an antibiotic shot stopped it cold.
I seem to recall reading at the PB Yahoo Group, that Remeron on it's own can cause edema, but no rash was mentioned. I may be wrong.
Note: this had never happened to me before on any other med or combo.
Don't want to scare you off, though, because Effexor + Remeron is considered by many p-docs to be the biggest gun going for SEVERE Major Depressive Disorder.
Perhaps it was just yet another quirk reaction for me...
