Hi
i am weaning off paxil and have been replacing it with remeron. i have five milligrams to go before i am off paxil. i have increased remeron to 60 mg. i am being hit with lots of hormonal changes now. skipping periods, heavy bleeding, etc. i am weaning off paxil because i want my sex drive back. Even though remeron makes me sleep well and increses my concentration i dont feel optimistic and hopeful as i did on paxil. i dont know if this is just lack of paxil or hormones or both. it seems that i am either angry, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, obsessive or just in constant bad mood. i miss my upbeat, hopeful and confident self. i just moved in with someone so i owuld like to not feel numb sexually as i did on paxil. i have thought about trying another ssri but it would most likely kill my sex drive. i feel sort of trapped with no options. can anyone relate? can anyone give me some advice on how i could feel better? thank you.

Hi -
Just be careful that you don't eat too much. My good friend took it and ballooned. She was always hungry. I don't know what to suggest that you do about those food cravings. She would wake up and be hungry...just before bed she was hungry... She had to go off it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

a friend of mine in the UK started it 2 months ago and said it is the best thing ever!......she said she has more energy and is a lot happier.
Although I am a skeptic too......I really need to try it (according to her!) but I do not want to put on weight or worry about any possible side effects and/or the depression coming back after I stop it......I am about to have some CBT to see if that helps.
Hope it works for you!.....let us know...oh and BTW...welcome to Powersurge!
