Today is my 21st day on 30mg. Remeron along with 20mg. Paxil which I cut back from 30mg. when I started the Remeron. I feel great!!!! Best I've felt in years. I started at 30mg. at bedtime. It took about a week and a half to get over the sedative effects, at first it was lights out.(the histaminergic effect). I have possibly experienced some allergy and flu symptoms from this same effect on day 19, but they have cleared right up. I think it is from the H1 antagonistic properties but may very well not be. I didn't worry about a WBC count because it cleared right up. I have been sleeping great at night and feel much more alert and normal during the day. I returned to work on the fifth.

I took Paxil for two years with modest success. A new pdoc immediately added Remaron to the mix. Within three or four days, I felt better than I had I decades. I mean, it was the keys to the kindom!
My mood disordeer depression cleared about 90% For decades I have suffreed from SADS. I have not had a single SAD attach...not even close...since the new drug combo was started. I stopped taking my beloved Xanax. It had saved my life but I took too much of the stuff and I just didn't need it anymore.
What can I say? I hope there is no poop-out in the offing. This combo had freed me to live as life as I had long since given up hope that I could. Taking with the boss...no problem. Going to parties..no problem. Meeting strangers...no problem. It's been great.
Good luck and blessings to all who suffer from debilitating metal illnesses! Do not ever give up hope!
