Libido Question - Depression

Postby AdamD7 » Tue Jul 05, 2005 4:19 pm

Anyone have any success using Remeron and I'm curious if anyone has went through what I'm going through?

I was smoking a LOT of marijuana for a year straight and didn't realize that it messed with neurotransmitters in your brain causing depression issues. Well, my system crashed and I had anxiety, complete loss of libido, nervousness, insomnia, etc.

The worst part of this whole thing isn't the nervousness, anxiety, it's the COMPLETE and total loss of libido. Anyone experience anything like this, BEFORE going on SSRI's, etc???????

I was on Remeron for about 8 months I believe.
It did help me for awhile, I did sleep ALOT, easily fell asleep within a half hour of taking it. I took it at bedtime.
Woke up feeling groggy, and had a hard time functioning.

Within 2 weeks of taking it I went from 98 lbs to 120 lbs roughly so that caused me to go into depression. It stopped working for my anxiety after 8 months, so I had to get off it.

I went through terrible withdrawals from Remeron.
I never had a problem coming off it like I did that, it was completely unexpected.

I did loose the weight once I was compeltely off it, so now back down my 100 lbs or so.

Other then the weight gain, and the major withdrawal it did ok.
I wouldn't go on it again though.

Just remember that meds work differently for everyone, what doesn't work for one person might do wonders for the other...

I've been on SSRI's and well currently Effexor for over 8 years now, so I don't really know what it felt like to be off meds...

Good luck to you with this if it's something that your doc wants to put you on.
