>Hi Bunny,
Thanks for replying.
Why are there oral dispersable soltabs? Why not just a pill?
Did it make you very hungry? Did that do away with time? What about restless legs - I got restless legs the first two times I took it. (The first time I took 15mg, was pretty sedated that night and a little the next day. The second time I tried 30mg and was totally out of it that night before I fell asleep but not at all sedated the next day.
I've read that it works pretty fast. Like within a week, you should feel much better. Was that true for you?
I'm pretty worried about the hunger thing. I don't want to become bulimic again...
The SSRI's haven't been that great for me either for depression or anxiety and I've had lots of side effects. Side effects were a big problem with tricyclics, too, so my pdoc is thinking of using Remeron either alone or to add to either Lexapro or Celexa.
