Hi, i started remeron at 15 mg on sunday night, i know its only tuesday today BUT i am in such a bad mood, i dont know weather it is because i am due on my period or what? i am usually moody arand my period BUT not this moody, i didnt feel uncomfortable going down town BUT when i seen my x i was shaking and nervous etc, i am in the type of mood dont mess with me kinda mood, BUT i dont want to be this bad, i am quite agitated still, i am not really sleepy on the remeron or realy hungry? i am quite normal in a way, abit disconnected in the day time i guess, but i felt likt that before i even started, just wondering shall i ask the doctor for a mood stabalizer? another ssri? BUT then again all ssri's and snri's made me abit manic and raised my hrt rate to a dangerous level? shall i fone doc or shall i wait for 2 weeks till my appointment? what shall i do? any advice? thanx

I think you should call your doctor and tell him how you are feeling, he might get you to up the dose some, 15mg is a low dose, but there are some side effects for the first few weeks like all anti depressents, I had mostly appetite increase, but it's probably best not to think about the medication as much or what it's doing and focus more on other things, but I deffently think you should ring your doctor and talk to him.

Hiya CrazyChick: Yes, your symptoms are exactly like mine when I started Remeron (30mg) about 10 days ago. Ist day,very sedated and sleepy. Then after that,not quite as drowsy, but got dizzy and spaced-out (felt drunk a lot of the time).Then, I got REALLY irritable, arguing and picking at ppl for no good reason!. Finally my knees and ankles swelled up. Like you, it felt exactly like very bad PMS. But take heart, I increased my dose to 45mg and right away I felt better. All those side effects went away. Call your doc and ask if u can increase your dose. At the low dose the histamine blocking effect is dominant, so u feel dizzy and drowsy and irritable. Once it's raised, the noradrenergic effect takes over kinda. Refer to my previous posts and the threads....McPac, Essence, Prozacpuppet and Jemma have all been very helpful to me. You don't need to add another med until you have adjusted to this one. Cuz you won't be able to sort out which drug is causing problems if you have them. Very best of luck CC. It's time to be patient and try occupying yourself with other things, if you can. Let us know how you're doing in a day or 2.
