Remeron was a really great drug for me for a long time. I honestly seemed to get some mood stabilization from it although that's not what it is for.And it was really good with the depression. I hope you get the same effects. If it keeps making you too tired the dose can go up which is less sedating even though it makes no sense.
I bet most of us have been there with showers. I certainly have and would have been probably worse if I weren't here with my mom who gets me to leave my house every day or so. Showering 4x/week was one of my goals on some activity IP.
I'm sure the clozaril situation isn't helping. i wish there were a faster way to get up to your dose. I missed an AM dose once this week (AM meds are really hard for me) and could feel it the rest of the day.
I'm ok. So far clozaril seems to be a good drug for me. But I'm taking it one day at a time and have been cautioned by my pdoc to stick to that. I'm just so happy to feel at all better that it's hard to not get excited, even though I have a lot of healing to do still. The hardest part is that I"m often so tired that it is hard to do very much. But we're moving my dose around so I should be less tired in the day (but which seems to increase the tiredness for now). I think the new dosing will be in place in 2 days. Amazingly I'm still having trouble falling asleep so I'm not sure what happens with that yet but my pdoc seems to have anticipated that so it will be ok. The only part I don't like is the drooling. I have a med to try for that but have been holding off so I'm not changing multiple things at once. The drooling is disgusting and uncomfortable. Ick.
