The Difference Between 'The Blues' and Depression

[Hamster]

4Zion, I haven't really tried an herbal remedies. I've meant to discuss them with my psychiatrist to make sure I don't take anything that conflicts with the medicine I already have

: ahem: Anyone tried Remeron? What was it like for you?

[Hamster]

I've never heard of that one... all I know is that men should stay away from Straterra

Remeron started in the 90's. Last night i gave my mom her first dose (15mg) last night and she was completely knocked out in 30 minutes!! I mean my sister and i had to practically carry her to bed. She only got up once in the night and even then she had to have help - thank goodness my other sister stayed the night with her! So tonight i will only give 1/2 dose and see if she does better. In time i think she will get used to it. But i just wondered if anyone else had taken it before and how they did with it.

Hi,,,
Many a times both of these terms are considered to be the same.Thanks for adding some points to clearly differentiate between the two terms closely associated with each other.

Seems to me if memory serves, Remeron can cause drastic weight gain . . . so just make sure of a stable weight.

My mom is 5'5" and weighs 100 pounds, so weight gain would be good. But now she's on Celexa, with a new doctor.

anti-depressants can definitely cause weight gain, Paxil is notorious for that
