I was weaning off of Lexapro to start on Cymbalta. I’m still currently taking Remeron as well. I have gained about 20 pounds and I’m not happy with it! I’m planning on asking my psychiatrist about going off of it because I already struggle with my weight. I’m constantly hungry! I do like how I feel with the Remeron but I can’t keep gaining. Are you feeling better?

It sounds like you have a good plan. My psychiatrist and therapist are thinking wellbutrin or trazodone for me - but my therapist has a strong belief that my real problem is ADD - we've tried Adderall and Ritalin...but haven't found the right dosage...or maybe not the right stimulant. In the end, I may simply need a short acting stimulant for when I can't focus and ideally be done with the antidepressants under the theory that my anxious depression is really the result of unmanaged ADD. But thanks for the insight on Remeron.
