SSRIs vs. SNRIs

Posted by HeadFogg on October 21, 2003, at 23:49:27

Can anyone explain why an SNRI might work for someone who received bad results from an SSRI? I know that an SNRI works on norepinephrine as well as seratonin, but what is the big advantage? Does having more adrenaline in your system help with brain function? Could an SNRI (such as Remeron) clear up severe mental fog, when an SSRI (such as Zoloft) greatly exacerbated the problem?

My doctor couldn't really explain what the advantage would be, except to say that it would make me sleep better somehow.

Thankful for any info,

Foggy
