Hi Tyler,
Yes, I tried Remeron a long time ago. I don't remember much except I couldn't tolerate the side effetcts -- usually the negative side effects I get from SSRIs and SNRIs are severe fatigue and brain fog (that don't go away in time).

The other meds (APs, mood stabilizers), give me other weird side effects.

Cymbalta REALLY did a number on me!! I think that's an SNRI? I was so disoriented and exhausted I felt like I was on some LSD trip -- not to that extent, obviously, but I was definitely reacting STRONGLY to it. I got lost in the mall parking lot (a mall where I go often), I spent way too much money because my judgment was so off, and then I had to sleep for almost two days straight. After about 3 days of that I quit and got back on the Lexapro.

This is why I am sticking to things I know I can tolerate right now.

It is very helpful to read posts from others who have had a hard time tolerating meds -- it helps me feel that I am not alone. The pdocs I have seen in this town act like they have never heard of anyone like me. I used to live in Detroit where the doctors seemed much more understanding and less judgmental ...

But I am rambling now ...

Thanks, cindy

> Have you guys ever tried Remeron. Remeron worked well for me for about 2 yrs then fizzled out. It definitely helped my depression but the side effects sucked-I gained about 25 lbs on it that I have thankfully since lost. They can fly a man to the Moon...why can't they make a really good antidepressant without all the side effects?! best wishes. Ty
