<font color="green"> Hi Adieu (that's rather comical! ),

Actually, the maximum of Remeron is 60mg. I was on that dose once before, but at that time, I had problems with side effects from it. I am content to stay at 45mg right now because I know if things get REALLY bad, then I still have the option to make an increase back up to 60mg.

I wouldn't attempt to find another anti-depressant! I went through MONTHS of trying to find one that worked. It was torture all in itself!!! I can not tolerate any of the SSRIs. It impacts negatively on the seratonin in my gut, and continues for MONTHS....meaning, non-stop! As well, they greatly increase my blood pressure. Wellbutrin causes my eyes to become so unfocused that I can't read anymore. Effexor same deal as the SSRIs.

So, I am blessed to have actually found an antidepressant that I can tolerate!! Phew!!

Thanks for all the information! It is so nice to find messages addressed to me when I come to this site. I live a pretty isolated life right now. The internet is pretty much my only "socializing" right now. Pretty sad, huh?

I hope you are enjoying your day!!!!

Hugs,
Sandy
