My psychiatrist has started me on Remeron and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it. It’s an older med that I don’t think is prescibed as much anymore. I do realize that everyone responds to anti-depressants differently, and I’m not looking for medical advice, just personal experience.
I’ve been on Remeron and Lexapro for almost a year now, and it has definitely helped me. The only side effect is that my libido is noticeably lower. My doctor and I are hoping changing the dose combinations will alleviate this somewhat, but on the whole I think it has been successful in treating my depression.
Jahdra, I find the Psycho-Babble discussion board really useful for learning about others’ experiences with a particular medication or combo of medications. Just enter “Remeron” as the search term.
I took it for a while years ago and it really helped… but I had to stop taking it because it caused some serious weight gain. If you’re skinny and need to put on a few, though, like a friend of mine who swears by it, it works great.
