Hi Scott --Before answering your question, I need to tell you something ... I'm just plain dead jealous of your psychopharmalogical knowledges/skills. Since how long do you "study" it ? What's your background/job/diploma/etc ? How much for an online course ? :D I'm barely joking ...
Remeron made me feel very uncomfortable. I took it only 2 times (2 pills).. I had some visual disturbance. Everything was yellowish (just like everything in the Matrix are grenish). My face was completely 'anesthesiate'. And when I tried to relax/sleep I had some bad RLS (Restles Legs Syndrome) which I don't have without Remeron (except between 7 - 11 years old, lightly.
And you, how do you react to Remeron ?
Btw, I just started Meridia tonight (3 hours ago actually).. I request it to one of my 2 Pdocs and he agreed. I'm on 10 mg at sleep time. It cost me about the same price, but in CAD$. So far I feel okay. I'm more awaken, more energy..
I currently take:
.5 Risperdal
20 Lexapro
37.5 Lamictal BID (150 pills cut in 4) trying to stop it
900 Lyrica (300 at breakfast, lunch and at bed time)
10 Meridia
Since we have some similarities in our profile, I wonder how I will do on Meridia. Did you lost some weight on it ? at worst I hope I can take it long enough to loose a couple pound (30 would be great) ...Marty
