I didn't want to go through that again and I read online that the side effects of both remeron and Latuda include stomach pain. So I thought the most obvious is to stop the meds because of that.

I know it's possible that I jumped to concussions but I really didn't want to go through that stomach pain again (when Lamictal caused the stomach pain, it would come back every few weeks and stopped when my pdoc stopped the Lamictal).
