> DonnaHi Donna,
I'm on 225mg Efexor + 30mg Remeron. I think it depends on how Remeron affects you. Remeron doesn't give me any cravings & hasn't caused me to eat any extra. Does it make you eat more & do less? Do you use food for comfort like I do? I know that's a hard habit to break. When you say SSRI's increase your BP have you tried all of them? I am overweight & have high BP so I was worried Efexor would make it worse, but strangely it is lowering it.
Cheers,
Panda.
