Hi, Ron... thank you for your thoughts! Since I had such a bad experience trying to start all three of the new meds together, I have decided to baby myself onto them one at a time to see which one is causing which side effects. I was starting to feel a bit hopeful earlier in the week so I added a small dose of Remeron as directed... but that was a mistake. That makes me so tired and lethargic even on the tiniest of doses. I am still (several days later) very sleepy. And I took a quick nose-dive, too. If I were to take enough of that to actually relieve my depression I would be asleep all the time! So, that one is definitely out. I am back on Topomax and Prozac. As soon as I get back to where I was feeling earlier I think I might try increasing the Topomax as directed to 100mg. I have read on this site that increasing slowly reduces the impact of the side effects... although I am enjoying the reduction in my appetite.
Anyway, thank you for your wishes... and my prayers go out to you as well. By the way, does that Enada not trigger any manic episodes? Is it an herbal supplement and where do you get it? Davina
