celexa vs remeron

I had NO side effects back then. My doc is thinking we will try serzone. Does serzone work similar to remeron? If remeron works will serzone likely work when all these others just make me worse? I'm so frustrated.

You might be experiencing withdrawal from the Celexa. Remeron is a different antidepressant that will act differently on you neurotransmitters. For example, Celexa was only inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin while Remoron is an antagonist of the 5-HT1A receptor and is most likely to affect your dopamine and noradrenaline (by affecting the adrenergic and 5-HT receptors) levels while not inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin itself as it's a serotonin receptor antagonist.

i am on celexa and klonopin and feel the celexa doesnt touch my anxiety! I would like to know if remeron helps u with anxiety? did u ever try celexa?

08 and a great Dr. treated me with Remeron and Ambien for sleep I did great and just tapered off Remeron and now I take Cymbalta and Lyrica for 2 months so far I'm good....Now I've got Fibro so my Bi-polar seems like a small thing. I do know what happens when I get off med.s tho I get manic but Remeron is great. It got me sane and on track when nothing else worked. Best of luck to you!

My hands stopped shaking in stressfull situations, I got a good job, I went out with friends, I felt 90% cured while on Paxil. I took celexa and lexapro after this with mixed results. All these SSRI's definitely effected me sexually, I couldn't "finish" during sex, this was very upsetting to me, so I stopped. Now I am on klonopin (have tried beta blockers--they didn't work), it helps a bit but I still think that an serotonin drug may make my physical symptoms better.

Quit Elavil and got well after mega doses of levaquin, augmentin, cefzil etc… Last Friday 3-6-09 I decided to quit remeron cold turkey with my doctors help. My withdrawal From Remeron includes many hellish side effects such as; nausea, brain shocks, insomnia, flu like symptoms, Insomnia being the worst by far. I take meclizine for the nausea, valium for the brain shocks, and now Seroquel for insomnia. Valium I can quit cold turkey(long half-life).

I have been prescribed remeron to help the benzos taper. It really helps a lot but I noticed an important weight gain since I take it. I googled it and foud out it was for the treatment of anorexia as well!!! Having a thyroid condition, I watch out A LOT what I eat, no fat no white sugar and as little carbs as I can. Even with the diet, I did put on about 10 kg in 3 months without changing anything in my diet.

Update. I got Remeron added to my Celexa (later will remove Celexa) and feel just like my old self again. I can't believe it! I thought I would never come out of that state of mind. No more Klonopin too.

they put me on remeron being that I had gi issues from celexa previously. I am on remeron for over a month 30 mg. I started to feel low a little again last week so she added zoloft. I started 12.5 every morning, which she said is like nothing, but I am very sensitive to side effects and nervous about getting them!! I felt it made me tired and out of it. And a little nausea. She told me to increase to 25mg in night. So yesterday after taking the 12.5 for five mornings, I took 12.

Is is possible to have withdrawal symptoms ( dizziness mostly) after only 20 days of Celexa usage? I was put on this med for anxiety. I initially took 10mg for 10 days, then 20mg for 10 days. Then, because I didn't like the side effects (jitteriness, dizziness, and low blood pressure), dropped back to 10mg for 2 days, then 5mg for 2 days. Today, I took 2.5mg for the second day. Tomorrow, I plan to take NONE.

I would give Remeron a shot before trying Abilify as Remeron is supposed to have reduced side effects compared to several other antidepressant and you are subject to less interactions.

For some reason Paxil seems to be the one SSRI that causes this massive weight gain. If you don't like the weight gain, then don't EVER let a doctor talk you into taking Remeron. It is the king daddy of weight gain antidepressants. It makes Paxil look like a diet pill. What about maybe switching to Celexa? I know many people that find it just as effective with no weight gain issues.

Hi Everyone! Just one fast question here... I really need to start again a SSRI for my extreme panic disorder and I want to know if the Celexa will work to stop the panic disorder, since I took it for my social phobia at 60 mg/day back in 1999 for 6 months and it did nothing for the social anxiety and my anxiety level didn't improve on it?

ve been on but remeber Prozac, Cymbalta, Wellbutrin, Effexor (Oh God, withdrawls..never again), Remeron (eternal sleep even when awake). Have done some recent research and the crowd points a lot to Zoloft, Lexapro and Celexa. 5 months ago I went off all meds. I've been dealing with a rough year due to divorce. I recently retired (still young though) and simply don't have a lot going on in life.

What they did was cut Celexa in half to create Lexapro, and thus were able to get a new patent. Celexa is a lot cheaper, therefore. If Celexa is working, I probably wouldn't switch; if it isn't, then I probably would.

I've just started taking it after trying numerous other drugs for anxiety. (Lexapro, Celexa, Paxil, Remeron) Right now I don't like how shortly after taking a 10 mg pill I get dizzy and "brain zaps" (which is normally a symptom of SSRI discontinuation). These side effects go away within a couple of hours but I am curious if Buspar has helped anyone with their anxiety in the long run or am I just wasting my time with this drug.

its not my liver doc its my psycho doc who wants to prescribe the new ad. there is no info in the net about druginteraction between inc and remeron. its not in the contra list but my doc called the company who is selling inc here in europe and they said that inc may increase remeron levels and that they can't say for sure that incivek is not touched by remeron.

im so upset, my dr put me on abilify in september with my effexor, my libido got very low and i wasnt able to come, now the dr is taking me off effexor and abilify and put me on celexa...now my libdo is completely gone and i cant come at all....it was the only thing i had left i was able to enjoy, i could always get in the mood and able to come fast and at least 2 times, now it just hurts and i dont want to do it....is this from the celexa?

I have been on Remeron and Celexa for a couple of months now for my anixety (no panic attacks). I still have leg, hip and low back tighness. Now I'm getting some twitching and twinges (split second cramps). I've been stretching my muscles in Yoga and got a deep tissue massage. She said my back muscle were tight and could be causing them to press on my sciatic nerve which might explain the leg soreness. But then my leg (posterior) are tight and sore deep inside.

Are there any long term effects of Remeron? Can I take Remeron while using the CPAP machine? Are there any less intense prescriptions or over-the-counter mdications that might offer me some benefit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My current psyc Dr doesnt really listen, he prescribed me remeron 60mg and klonopin 2mg to take at night to help me sleep I think the klonopin is working but the remeron is all wrong for me. I am NOT depressed but I think the remeron is making me feel that way and very lathargic and morbid thoughts. I think the remeron is also making me gain weight, does anyone else think that or feel taht way from remeron?

Should a patient be on zoloft and celexa at the same time. I have a patient on celexa 20mg that started 5/17/11. She was previously on Zoloft 200mg daily that has been decreased to 100mg daily x7 days then 50mg x7days then d/c. My problem is this combination of the two. Should she have finished the tapering of zoloft before starting the celexa?
