> It was the only drug that lifted ur mood? That at least gives me hope. Have u tried a bunch of meds? How soon did u notice ur mood lifting. Im going to take my first pill right now.
From 1995 to about 2006 I had tried probably every, SSRI and SSNRI on the market.
I was presribed MANY combinations of those with some of the other meds not classified like those..........wellbutrin comes to mind as an adjunct that was tried.
Antipsychotics were added in combination with those towards the end of my treatments.
I guess I just kept getting sicker and sicker. *sarcasm
Remeron was the only med that lifted my mood noticeably. All of the others dulled my emotions so I could neither feel good or bad.
It's a nightmare remembering this now lol, kidding.
Remeron kinda' made me feel like after you come down from smoking pot. If you have no experience with that, my description would be that, my mind and body were relaxed AND, I had some serious munchies lol.
I think that everybody is so vastly different that a psychiatrist can do nothing but guess and
"roll the dice" in precribing a med that he hopes will work.I am just sharing my experience and wish you the best while you seek relief and peace.
If I were to return to psych drugs, I would request Remeron in treatment for depression. I don't anticipate that happening soon thankfully.
I wish I could say "I feel your pain." I can't.
I can however, say "There is no way that I, nor anybody else can know the pain, or the depths of pain, you may be experiencing because it is unexplainable.
That was the conclusion that I came to in the deepest darkness that I have experienced.
Sorry if I got off track.
I'll quit.
Regards
