I am having a tough time coping with a new drug my psych put me on. I was taking 15 mg of Remeron nightly, and just recently was increased to 30 mg of Remeron. I thought 15 mg was great. I was feeling better (happier), more positive, and could go to sleep more easily. However, when I started taking 30mg, things seemed to go a bit haywire. I am eating like crazy (at least double my daily intake of food), I feel on edge, and I really dislike the feeling I get immediately after taking it. I feel out of control-highly sedated, I cannot swallow, and I have a hard time breathing! I am wondering whether these side effects are "real" or whether they're all "in my head". I haven't been able to exercise for the past few weeks, so I could feel bad because of that, but I wasn't exercising when I was taking the 15 mg either and I never felt like this! Anyways, I'm going to see the Dr. shortly. Hopefully he'll either take me off it or reduce me back to 15 mg and these side effects will go away!
