In reply to Remeron and Lexapro combo not working, posted by Jerseygal on April 23, 2011, at 16:55:15
> I have a few questions regarding the combo of lexapro and remeron. I was on prozac for many years until it pooped out about a year ago. I am now taking 40 mg. lexapro and 30 mg. remeron. I started taking the remeron in Nov. 2010 and lexapro at the end of January 2011. Though I am feeling somewhat better, I am still having issues with anxiety and obsessive thinking. I was wondering if the remeron could possibly be cancelling out some of the benefits of lexapro? I know that remeron acts on different receptors depending on the dose. Would it be worth trying remeron at 15 mg. to see if it makes a difference? I guess what I'm getting at is that I wonder if I'm on too much medication at this point.
It is my impression that Remeron works best at dosages of 45-75 mg to treat more severe depressions. In Europe, doctors often target 60mg first as a therapeutic dosage.
