In reply to Re: remeron wiping me out!! anyone on wellbutrin?, posted by stjames on September 11, 2000, at 3:16:51
thanks for the feedback, I have gone off the remeron and feel better... glad it works for so many, but I am in graduate school and can't afford to be out of it completely for a week to wait to see if the effects wear off.. thank goodness i tried it on a weekend, my doctor didnt' even warn me that the side effects could be so bad...
wow
take care
> > I have been on remeron for a few day, take it before bed and pass out for 12 to 14 hours, I can't do this, it is horrible. I am out of it all of the time. i am going to have to switch meds, I was on wellbutrin and got side effects, my jaw keep clenching like I was on speed or something ( not that I have taken it but I am a social worker and witness speed dependence alot!) anyway, has anyone had this side effect on wellbutrin, and does anyone take a really low dose? I was thinking if I did that I could go back on it and try again, this remeron is basically wiping my life out..
