I find negative reactions to Philipa's post very interesting.
When I thought that psych meds were great, I reacted the same way. My attitude was, "How dare you say anything bad about something that is helping me function?"
But my perspective changed once I was diagnosed with a hearing loss that I definitely linked to being on Remeron.
The side effect is listed as rare but then again, can we really trust the reporting of side effects when it is estimated that only 2% to 10% of all adverse side effects are ever reported to the FDA. Also, the side effects reported are based on a very short trial period. So that is why I think so called rare side effects might not be as rare as you think.
Anyway, I had a very positive attitude. It didn't prevent my hearing loss. I wish to god I had paid more attention to the articles warning about ADS that I would rant against as a hearing loss isn't the only adverse affect I suffered.
Sorry if I am rambling a bit. A noisy neighbor has caused insomnia for two days in a row.
Happy Easter and Passover to everyone.
