I have been on Remeron for 24 days now. 2 weeks at 30mg and 45mg last 10 days. I am still having side effects. There is something near my nose and in my maxilar. It is not a pain, but it is very bad. I am still very sleepy for about 2 hours after I wake up in the morning and people see me sleepy during all the day. It is dark under my eyes. The feeling in the nose area is better compared to the first days. But the maxilar is worse. I also have numbness in the knees sometimes, and since I started Remeron, all my body is numb.
I have no anxiety now. Having no anxiety is something I never felt before. I would like to know if it is ok to feel like this. Sometimes I stay too long without moving my arms or legs and it is like when I sleep in a bad position. My lips are dry and have cuts because of this. I donīt have sexual dysfunction. I have numb in all the body except in this area.
Before, I felt very well when I was taking Zoloft, Prozac or Efexor. Not well with Serzone (some sleepy-no relief). Very bad with Wellbutrin. Also Stablon (felt nothing) and Trazodone (very sleepy). I tried all these medications always trying to find one without the sexual problem. I have anxiety and dysthmia. I have no side effects with the SSRI except the sexual and they make me feel good the same day I take them and very good in 1 week. After this, better and better...
If Remeron dont work I will go back to a SSRI and have to live with the sexual problem.
I have all this side effects and I am still taking Remeron because it is my last try. I would like to know if it is worthy to keep taking it. Will I feel like I feel with the SSRI? Will the side effects disapear?
