My doctor took me off Remeron recently because I was starting to feel depressed again, and had me start Zoloft again, which was the first AD I ever took and was very effective once (he also chose it hoping to treat my really bad PMS).
At first I felt great (hypmanic?) but then the last few days I had really bad anxiety and it reminded me somewhat of the mixed episode I had the last time I tried Zoloft alone, before being diagnosed bipolar.
Now I take lithium and lamictal so I didn't think I'd have this reaction. It's not AS bad as pre-mood stabilizers, but pretty bad.
Last night I went back to my Remeron and took that before bed and feel SO much better - no anxiety today!
Could it be that simple? Yesterday I was taking Seroquel and it helped calm me but I still felt like crap emotionally (depressed, fragile). Do you think I should try taking the Remeron and Zoloft together (I see my pdoc next week)?
I was up to 100mg on the Zoloft (150 during PMS) and had only been on it a month. Today out of fear I only took 50 mg. Should I go back to 100 mg? Any opinions on any of this would be great. Thanks so much.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd consider combining medications an advanced medication issue, so I'd like to redirect this thread to the new Psycho-Babble Neurotransmitters board. Here's a link:
