I've been reading through posts and haven't read anyone have the same experience as me, and I'm so baffled by what it's doing. By doc thinks it's too much norepinephrine, but I know it works on so many things, and I've taken so many SNRIs and if too much became edgy (like other people wrote about remeron, making them rageful), but this is different. I started and went from almost suicidal depression that's been going on for so long, to markedly fast and drastic improvement on 1 pill, 15mg. Then my doc had me go up, cutting 1 in half and adding that (22.5). Then eventually he had me go up because I was getting depressed again, so up to 30 mg. He says my system is so sensitive he's learned, and that it was maybe too much NE, but when I've had other things with a lot of NE, I feel edgy & irritable. This was a fast and drastic drop into that same despair, hopelessness, and feeling like I could not get out of bed and cope with anything literally in about 3 days. I'm amazed I'm back here. When I started at 15, I so quickly was up, and almost forgot how depressed I was! Then worse as we crept up, and despair at 30! Does that make sense to anyone? This is the first AD that's worked for me, and fast. Now I'm back in that despair and every moment feels like forever, and at the same time, I want it to slow down so my toddler doesn't wake up, because I'm too depressed to deal with him. I know remeron hits on a bunch of other receptors, and it's tricky to figure out what, but I feel like it isn't NE, because that feeling is edginess for me, and this is despair. I'm so confused, and baffled - does anyone have any thoughts? I'm so lost, yet again. Thank you! Cydnie
