| 1 | Depression | Agitation, nightmares, paranoia, restless. Got to the point I couldn't sleep or eat | I started out depressed but after Remeron I became totally psychotic. It is very difficult to wean yourself off this drug. All I can do is strongly urge you not to take this drug. | F | 39 | 90 days 15 MG 1X day | 12/25/2014 | 1 | Doctor decision | After my brother tragical dead, doctor said to take that because would help me and isnt addiction. While I took it I never notice nothing better, just side effects. I slept well, I never had anxiety (didnt even know what anxiety was), I was just sad bc what happened. After start took it troubles start to appear - sleep 13 hours/night, allways tired, muscle and back pain that took all my energy to do something. I was just tired and exhausted at home! I tried stop 3 times and I failed all - withdrawal total hell! I had suicide thoughts, brutal anxiety like neck shake entire day, noises in ears, total depression, total tired and exhausted and feeling ill (throat ill). I am already 1 year free of it and I still have ears noise (doctors says will be permanent!), my sleep is total ruined (I fall asleep normally but wake up all mornings with anxiety attack after 2 weeks of stop them) and I am experience anxiety levels I never had in entire life. I advise all - stay away of it. It simply dest | M | 26 | 36 months 15MG 1X day | 12/22/2014 | 3 | Insomnia | Rapid heartbeat | My doctor put me on this because it has a similar effect of Trazodone and he thought it would help me sleep. It made my heart beat faster than normal in the mornings, though this wore off during the day. It was still an unpleasant side effect while it lasted. It was also not very powerful as a sedative, though I'm sure it was better than nothing. I got off it because my doctor didn't like how high my pulse was when I came in for a checkup. | M | 29 | 2 months N/A 1X day | 12/17/2014 | 4 | Anxiety/Panic Attacks | F | 27 | 3 years 60 mg 1X day | 12/16/2014 Patient History | 1 | Insomnia | Gave me bad Insomnia and huge amounts of energy. | Remeron was prescribed to me for insomnia, it gave me bad insomnia at 15mg it is not sedating at all in fact it is the opposite. it would make a good stimulant. | M | 30 | 3 weeks 15 1X day | 12/12/2014 | 1 | Depression | PLEASE READ !!! | PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THID DRUG! It's worse to get off from than heroin and that's no joke! Please before you take THIS drug go to surviving antidepressants and READ the stories! This drug should be banned!!!! THIS DRUG IS POISION! Please don't take it PLEASE! | F | 46 | 6 months 45 1X day | 12/11/2014 | 1 | Chronic Insomnia | For the first three years, I didn't have side effects. I gained about 4 pounds. It helped me sleep. The past two years were increasingly difficult, violent nightmares, horrible and muscle pain. My Dr. didn't think it was the remeron, but he was wrong, it was the cause. I chose to go off the drug and it is a living nightmare. The first week was fine, I slept pretty well, didn't notice much difference. But one week into it, everything went haywire. i couldn't sleep or if I did for a few hours I couldn't stay asleep. Terrible allergies, hot flashes, abdominal pain. My guts were like cement. This lasted about a month and I spent a lot of time in bed. The 2nd month had all the withdrawal symptoms except abdominal pain. Ginger capsules helped with that a lot. Now its been about 10 weeks and I'm down to insomnia but not nearly as bad as previous. I regret staying on the drug so long and would never recommend taking it. Do not stop this drug suddenly. | F | 60 | 5 years 15MG 1X day | 12/9/2014 | 3 | sleep, anxiety, depression, apetite | weight gain, sleepiness which were both helpful for my case. felt like i was not all there. my vision seemed like it was different hard to describe. almost like it was delayed. i couldnt drive after taking it for a while or going off it. made my anxiety worse. felt like i was having panic attacks more often. felt like i couldnt breathe and my heart would beat fast. this all could have been from going off zoloft cold turkey 3 days prior to taking remeron. | had to go back on zoloft. this stuff seemed to make me feel worse than i already was. i did help great with helping me eat and sleep. i think i gained about 10lbs in a month which was greatly needed. i had to go back on zoloft because i couldnt handle how i was feeling. i might try it again without going off zoloft cold turkey. | M | 30 | 30 days 15mg 1X day | 11/23/2014 | 1 | Anxiety and Insomnia | Helped with anxiety and sleep but gain 10-15 lbs in first 2 months. Doctor increased dose to 30mg because anxiety worsened around month 6 and gain an additional 10 lbs | M | 28 | 1 years 15-30mg | 11/18/2014 | 1 | sleep and anxiety | Made me rest well helped with anxiety. Hate thhe weight gaiin 20 ilbs 3 mos | F | 60 | 3 months 30 | 10/18/2014 | 3 | Depression/Anxiety | Not sure...Feel a little speedy at times and anxious but that could be more to do with the fact that I came off Citalopram 4 days ago as I started this. | Was on Citalopram for 8 weeks and it made my head whizz at a million miles per hour,nothing making sense,just total fear. I already had bad anxiety and it made it so much worse that I just wanted to die. I am hoping this has a slowing down effect while helping lift the depression and negative thoughts. It's early days so I will keep posting but for now,I feel a little better and the intrusive thoughts are a little easier to deal with. Hoping they disappear completely soon xxx | F | 38 | 4 days 15mg 1X day | 9/22/2014 | 1 | major depressive disorder | Weight gain and horrific nightmares.
