Hi McPac, have been following your threads and it seems that you may/might/who knows have similiar reactions to norepiephrine as i may/might/who knows. As I have posted in another thread I get horrible jitters/anxiety/panic from meds like prozac and stimulants and come to think of it tofranil and cocaine (the one time I tried it) too, which apparently all affect norepiephrine. Does remeron affect norep significantly? I know how frustrating it is to have a paradoxical reation to meds. Doctors look at you as if you're making it up and it's difficult to relate to all the 'good reactions'out there. It's the 'why me'thing. I know because I have had adverse reactions to practically everything!! But the 'jumping out of your skin jitters'has to be one of the worst. The odd thing is that when I tried remeron, several years ago, I DID NOT, have this reaction. Instead i was angry and irritible and not pleasant to be around. I had lots of ruminating thoughts and i WAS HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. It's not just the weight gain (alto who needs that) it's the unnatural feeling of constantly needing to eat. Like needing to pee or needing to sleep all the time is not nice either. One of the great side effects for me was that I had a sex life again. After years of ant-d's and other psychotrophic meds this was a miracle. I'm not sure if I added something to the remeron if the anger would abate. I may try it again in the future if all else fails. Look forward to replies..........
