AnonymousInactiveAugust 12, 2011 at 1:31 pmPost count: 14413My doctor is concerned about my depression and has prescribed Remeron for me. I just started taking it last night and today I cannot shake the grogginess – it’s like I’m suffering from the flu and I just want to lie down and sleep it off – and that’s 12 hours after my first pill! I’m seriously debating whether I want to continue on this stuff as the side-effects seem to be worse than the cure!
Has anybody else had these experiences?

I will discuss it with my doctor, but I stopped using it after my first dose. 60 hours after taking it I’m still a bit lethargic, but at least I’m feeling a bit like my old self again – warts and all.

Antidepressants do take > 4 weeks, so call the doc to get started with something else! a month of depression feels like a year!
