Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted January 7, 2022 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted January 7, 2022 Thank you for answering the questions I asked. Please create your drug signature as requested above. This will allow members to see your drug history at glance. Doing this gives your posts context and means that members do not have to find your Intro topic to get the information. Thank you. 3 hours ago, fkphamah0es said: Was Remeron the only drug you have taken? Yes It sounds like you may have had a bad reaction to Remeron, especially if the bad effects soon after you started the drug. There is no "quick fix" after this has happened. Only time. Generally the symptoms will gradually reduce. Please read the following: See: immediate-adverse-reactions-to-an-antidepressant-or-within-a-few-doses-how-long-for-recovery But I only took it for a Week - immediate adverse reaction Also see the member Success stories for adverse reactions: https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/search/?q="adverse reaction"&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=28 * NO LONGER ACTIVE on SA * MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: (6 year taper) 0mg Pristiq on 13th November 2021 ADs since ~1992: 25+ years - 1 unknown, Prozac (muscle weakness), Zoloft; citalopram (pooped out) CTed (very sick for 2.5 wks a few months after); Pristiq: 50mg 2012, 100mg beg 2013 (Serotonin Toxicity) Tapering from Oct 2015 - 13 Nov 2021 LAST DOSE 0.0025mg Post 0 updates start here My tapering program My Intro (goes to tapering graph) VIDEO: Antidepressant Withdrawal Syndrome and its Management Link to comment

Compared to the person I once was this is just a black tunnel now, I can do the simpliest things like cleaning my house, I do program for cognitive training. There was improvment in motivation only but not for long as I cant function not having emotions and feelings, no matter what I do, its just monotonic... Link to comment
