I’ve been on remeron 30 mg for 3 months now, i got switched from wellbutrin to this when i was in the hospital last, don’t know why they switched me onto something new though, first month didn’t really see much different and then a bit after the second i noticed my anxiety was noticably better and my depression was getting a bit better, third month it was going good then this last 5 days i’ve been very depressed and my anxiety is a lot worse, the other day just going up to the cashier and checking out caused me so much anxiety and it’s almost unbearable again to go out, i’ve missed this past couple days of school even parshally because i haven’t slept good and also i just can’t get up and do my morning routine because it seems like it’s just too much, this morning i dropped my food and just ended up going in my room and was laying there for half the day because i was so stressed and depressed, plus since going onto it i’ve went to 165 up to almost 200, i started running and working out early january because i was up to 185ish yet i’ve still put on almost 20 more pounds, has anyone else had remeron stop working or made their depression worse?
Hi, depression should be treated by combination of medicines and psychotherapy. Have you seen a psychotherapist yet? A few sessions of psychotherapy will work well for you.
Hi Raymond. So very sorry that the med worked well for a short period then boom it stopped. If I were you I would go back to the doctor that prescribed the medicine for you and get some feed back and get a referral to a psychiatrist. Their main specialty is medicine. Please keep us posted. Diane
Sadly the closest one is over two hours away, i tried to get an appointment with him last year but i waited over four months and his closest date was only in september of last year and it just didn’t seem worth it
I’m currently going to a psychiatrist and i saw him yesterday, He said to keep taking the remeron and also prescribed me buspiron 10 mg twice a day, today was my first time trying the new med and i didn’t have many side affects other than the dizziness here and there and i’ve been constantly smoking.. almost one my second pack today when i normally smoke 5 a day at most, it’s like when i’m not smoking i feel the urge to smoke and it’s a lot stronger than it was before i was on this.. plus i felt a bit sleepy after taking them so i’m not sure, it’s my first day on it so im going to keep taking it and see how that helps. Hopefully the remeron starts working again and if he doesnt by the middle of march i have another appointment and he’ll up the dose to 45 or 60 mg, id much rather try and get on another med such as my cymbalta which was the first antidepressant med i was on that worked great. The problem was my anxiety caused depression, and vice versa so hopefully if this antianxiety med starts working i won’t be depressed as much
second day on busbir... my face doesn’t hurt but it feels like it’s throbbing with heat and my eyes feel really gone, i’m also getting shoots of heat and stuff all over my body.. hopefully the side effects go away soon a couple minutes ago my heart felt like it was beating hard and fast idk
my doctor just said to stop buspir.. and i’m going to have to deal with my anxiety myself, and said i’m not gonna switch you off of remeron.. which isn’t working. time to start smoking weed again and say f**k it to my probation if my psychiatrist isn’t gonna help me one bit
Hi Raymond. If you start smoking while on probation won't that send you back to jail? If so would that be worth it to you? Why not follow what the doctor is suggesting and let him see how it works for you? What do you think? Diane
