started remeron--getting some side effects


21 years ago 0 77 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Astrea..sometimes it takes quite a while to get on to the meds that agree with you with little side effects. I was over a year getting a balance on what was good for me and finally started to reel normal and human again. There are so many out there and so many dosages that you have to keep trying ti one suits you. Psst esperiences DO sometimes cause the panic attacks or anxiety and since you have found yours, you should be fine, if you can get the right balance in meds. Or maybe that is not the trigger. Sometimes you have to go so far back to even when you were an infant to dicover the causes. Many people never do. I hven't found mine yet, but getting close. Many discussions with my family regarding the past and my childhood seem to help and all of a sudden, find the trigger for it all. Hidden triggers are just that, Hidden. They need to be opened up and many people can't do that. And one day, it all comes flooding out, when least expected. That's what I'm hoping for, with the help of prayer and journalling. Best to you, and keep posting. LUV, SUZY.

Thanks Luke for your reply.. haven't heard of pameron? (sp) yet.. I had recently switched from paxil. I have a mixed form of depression, mostly combined with OCD and post-traumatic stress of some sort related to a car accident that occurred about eight years ago. I tried half a tablet of remeron this time, 15 mg; this time the side effects weren't as intense, although I still have abnormally vivid REM sleep and dry mouth.

Your Question: Is drowsiness, dizziness and having a foggy head normal for side effects of Remeron? I guess I never really answered your question. I read that those are some of the side effects. I take mine before bed. I may experience that a little, but like I said before I haven't been able to sleep till my alarm clock goes off since I have changed over to it and that may cause some of my drowsiness. Luke

I was on Pamelor and was switched to Remeron back in January of this year. Since then I haven't been getting a good night sleep. I haven't woken up my alarm in a long time. I usually wake up about a hour or so before I have to. I don't think the Remeron helps with panic and anxiety like Pamelor should. On a personal note I have had a problem with diarrhea where the Pamelor made me constipated. Luke

The doctor just started me on remeron. I maxed out paxil at 60 mg. I relapsed into an anxiety attack about two weeks ago, that pretty much brought me to the emergency room of the hospital. They mentioned re-evaluating my meds and doing an evaluation to see what exactly I have.. the oncall psych mentioned OCD, but wasn't sure, and depression seems to be mixed in there. Is drowsiness, dizziness and having a foggy head normal for side effects of remeron? This one seems more intense than when I first started paxil.
