In reply to Emsam / Remeron combo?, posted by former poster on September 22, 2010, at 0:36:59
> Emsam 6mg patch doesn't interact with very many other meds. These are 2 AD's that have opposite side effects,(with the exception of low blood pressure). Emsam causes severe insomnia from its effect on mostly dopamine while Remeron causes extreme somnolence from its effect on serotonin. Remeron promotes dreaming while Emsam causes a dreamless sleep. Could Remeron provide the missing serotonin re-uptake that Emsam lacks at the reversible MAOI dose?
There are a couple of things that you wrote here regarding drug mechanisms that are not accurate. No big deal, though.
My doctor and I spoke about the theoretical possibility of safely combining Nardil with Remeron. My interest in Remeron is that it blocks certain serotonin receptors, primarily 5-HT2c. My doctor has not heard of it being done. Neither have I.
