I'm taking Remeron (45 mg since end of Dec., and increased to 60 mg last night), along with Effexor 450 mg, for impossible-to-treat depression. The two together are supposed to pack a punch, and they did -- I've never felt better in my life -- but the effect wore off quickly, after probably 1.5 months. Nature is creul. The best way I can describe the way I felt was constant hypomania, and the sensation of being a completely different person (happy for once!) living in same body. Now I'm back to angry, depressed, self-destructive.
I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this poop-out, and/or what dose of Remeron is effective for you. (Specifically, will it do do many any good to raise the dose??)
I'm bipolar, btw, and take lithium 900mg and lamictal 200 mg. As far as I'm concerned they don't do anything for me but my pdoc begs to differ.
I would appreciate anything anyone wants to share.
