Hi Alti,
During clinical trials of Remeron, 3 patients developed marked drop in their white blood cell counts, 2 of them with associated signs and symptoms of infection and the third patient without any associated symptoms. I am not certain if this pertains to your problem but I thought I'd bring it up. If you haven't done so, you should notify your doctor immediately and have a CBC with differential count done.
FYI, physicians are advised to discuss the following issues with patients for whom they prescribe Remeron:
Agranulocytosis (critical drop in white blood cell count) - Patients who are on Remeron should be warned about the risk of developing agranulocytosis. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience any indication of infection such as fever, chills, sore throat, mucous membrane ulcerations (e.g., sores in mouth) or other possible signs of infection. Remeron should be stopped immediately if your white cell count are markedly low. Not trying to scare you but this condition can be fatal due to possible massive infection.
