I went to my pdoc and she prescribed remeron. I average about one hour of sleep a night and she claims if I get my sleep under control I'll start feeling better. I tried it before and it made me a zombie. I have a very physical job and a zombie isn't an option. She says my brain may be different now. I want to try paxil again as that's the only drug that ever worked for me. I tried it this past fall for about 5 months and it didn't do anything for my depression and it increases my racing thoughts. Abilify was added and I gained a bunch of weight so I stopped the abilify and the racing thoughts increased to the point where I had to go off the paxil and wound up in the hospital for 8 days. Would starting paxil with abilify be asking too much from my brain. Starting paxil is always difficult for me and starting 2 drugs maybe a disaster. Any thoughts? I need sleep and I'll probably get that with remeron. Remeron also made me very irritable.
