actually works well for depression
|

|
none

I am only giving this an 8 because I haven't been taking it long enough to be sure its excellent. I especially like Remeron because you take it at bedtime and the drugged feeling is almost gone when you wake up. Out of all the antidepressants I've taken, this one actually works.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
quick acting towards calming and/or reducing manic behaviour
|
|
Negative aspects of the product (cons):
|
extremely sedating,and removing all emotion,zombifying
|
|
I was only taking this for about a week or less,my pdoc even saw the negative effect on me,sure calmed me,but allowed my deep depression to worsen,she took me off of it quickly It was my severe depression that was the main reason I volunteered myself to be admitted,in the first place.
Remeron was counter productive for me.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
it did make me not think of suicide and helped me go to sleep at night but didn't keep me asleep.
|
|
Negative aspects of the product (cons):
|
It made me have no emotion, I couldn't cry when I felt like I wanted to
|
|
All in all I guess it works for Depression. I researched and found out that I should only have to take it for like 6 months. My psychiatrist had me on it for like 7 years. I stopped taking it on my own, too expensive, lost my medical insurance. So far I have been off it for 2 years and feel okay.
I do think about suicide sometimes, but not as often as I did years ago.

Was on remeron for 7 months. Worked great in the beginning, about 4 months later, severe side effects kicked in. Sudden anger/rage feeling leading to uncontrollable verbal fights. Mad at the whole world one day and happy the next. A feeling of sadness, and crying for no reason. Increased feelings of depression. Please read other reviews about Remeron here

Remeron is one of several drugs I have tired in attempts at alleviating my depression and severe anxiety w/ panic attacks and agoraphobia. While Remeron did work at helping me to feel happier, I still had panic attacks which seemed to be amplified and more intense while on the medication. Remeron did not pose any sexual side effect to me, however I did notice slight weight gain and water retention.
I stopped taking Remeron because my Doctor and I were not sure it was doing what hoped it would. Having now been off of it for several weeks, I realize all the good Remeron was doing for me. My panic attacks are now far more intense than when I was on the medication and much more frequent.

mania, shaking, sleepiness one night to sleeplessness the next

This drug was not the choice for me. It made me sleepy one night and then the next I couldn't sleep. I was manic and my hands were shaking a lot of the time. I know it works for some people, but this would be a drug I would not consider unless it was a "last resort."
