> Hi Karen~
> Thanks for replying...Well, as tempting as your description of Remeron does sound...the weight gain concerns me..as does ANY added "horney-ness"! The orgasmic effect is a nice side effect, though.
> UGH!!! Why, oh why can't there just be a perfect drug ? I mean...the trade off on Effexor for me is happy and horny..with no orgasm. :~(
> With Remeron,, the trade off is horny and orgasmic, but chubby?? It just s*cks!
> Best of luck to you and good health, as you continue to wean off of Parnate.
> Thanks Karen....Faith~
>Thanks for your words of encouragement. I am not sure about the weaning off of the Parnate; have been feeling somewhat more depressed but still want to take a wait and see approach. I know the next notion is to try Lamictal, and I don't want to try another "new" drug. I have had so many bad reactions to everything other than the Parnate that I also used years ago. Then, it helped a lot; now, not so much. Maybe I just need to exercise more and get the endorphens going. I am not liking being back on antidepressant medication. I was off of it for about 10 years. I wonder if just a small dose of Remeron added to Effexor is a possibility??? I have no idea as I am not a physician or pharmacist. Guess that is one to ask the doctor. Take care.
