Default The bottom line

I recently heard a biochemist say that every drug we take has the potential to affect every other function of our bodies, directly or indirectly. Sure made sense to me.

On the subject of antidepressants going bizirk...I have been having some upredictable and extremely intense off time over the last year, and it's occurring with increasing intensity, duration and frequency. It is more than a concern to me andgetting very scary. The Neurologist thinks its one of my meds. We know it's not the benzodiazapine and my money was on the regular sinemet as the culprit. My Neuro thought it was my antidepressant, Mirtazipine (Remeron). So I cut it back and eventualy eliminated it. I was so out of it after a few days, not sleeping etc that I realized what a big part it played in my ability to function...so I started it up again planning to tell the Neuro that it was not the misbehaving drug, and I needed to be back on it. I had 3 great nites sleep and my days were good too...everything looked peachy, untill this last saturday night. I woke up in the middle of the night shaking and sweating like crazy...but I got it back under control. Then Sunday night it happened again. Today it happened twice! I'm thinking this Neuro is right! I've been on this drug for 5 + years. No problem till this last year. Gotta sign off now, I'm fallin asleep at the keyboard., Greg, sooooo glad your okay.
