was on zoloft 50mg 8 years, change to remeron 30 done well for 12 mnths, only side effect weight gain 8 kgs, gradual increase in agitation restlessness asnd irritablility (pdoc says this happens in 1\20 people, played around with the dose, 15mg remeron less agiation does nothing for depression, 30mg better mood more agitation, seeing pdoc since aug last year, now on
zoloft 50 then 75 now 100 have to go slow cause im sensitive to meds, cannot tolerate Lexapro, Luvox, other ssri's, or tca's (prothiedin)
xanax 0.05mg x 3 per day
Ambien at night
side efeects at 100mg Zoloft now very pronounced
extreme fatigue, daily headache, Tinnitus, flashing lights, Like migraine without pain, flu symtoms, weight loss, not much appetite, been on 100mg zoloft for 8 weeks, as the dosage has increased the fatigue has increased, i know I wont be able to go higher, not seeing the doc for 2 weeks, due to go on holiday 17th this month and back to uni next month if this fatigue continues I won't be able to do either.
doc keeps telling me we are running out of options, why do they say stuff like that? asked me to think about effexor, at this stage I want to stay away from that, another change over before hols no way
Mood is flat, not up, not down, been thinking about augmenting 50 - 75mg Zoloft with 15 mg remeron, reason being lower dose of Zoloft might result in less fatigue, low dose of remeron might
help appetite and energy, although the agitation thing comes into then, anyone got any ideas, Im worried about going overseas and not being able to get out of bed more than a few hours in a daysorry this is so long first time I have posted, but I have been lurking for a long time, at my wits end please help anyone..........
