In reply to Remeron - suicide?, posted by g_g_g_unit on December 27, 2007, at 21:54:23
> i suffer from pure-o and have been on remeron for 3 weeks now, 15mg for first two weeks then 30. at 15 i was incredibly hungry and irritable, and so raised to 30 against my pdoc's advice. now i am more alert but am feeling horribly suicidal as well. what's unclear is whether these feelings are being exacerbated by pending circumstances (family is away, pdoc on holiday). 15mg was basically untenable, and now i'm wondering whether it's worth pushing through on 30. i know they say give these things like 6 weeks, but if i;m feeling no relief whatsoever is there a chance it might still kick in, cos i could swear i felt better before going on remeron
You may be feeling a reaction to the NE in Remeron.... Normally Remeron is a very sleepy agent but when I took it the second time around after about a week it ceased to become a sleeping pill and became an antidepressant, except not a pleasant one. I rocked myself to sleep with songs to get around this, this worked for a few more weeks, we raised it a little more, that didn't do a thing. All together, a hideous experience that just raised my heart rate. I suffer from pure O along with other things. I can't say that this is a pure comparison, only you know, but I was just offering an example.
