Which is the best of these four to be used as a short-term daily antidepressant, with the least amount of side effects and least amount of permanent 5-HT/NE modification and damage?
I am thinking of taking a high dose of Remeron (30-45mg) for a couple of weeks to boost me out of this hopelessness so I can actually start my school semester right, then taper off once I'm on my feet. I just don't like contemplating suicide every day, it's getting too risky for my survival. Higher doses of Remeron don't cause too much sedation, only lower doses (7.5-15mg). Also, Remeron starts showing benefits within just a week rather than 3-4 weeks as with SSRI's.
I already have been taking a mild SRI, DXM extended release, at doses of ~120mg a day for the last few months to prevent opiate/benzo tolerance, and take about 50mg of tramadol a day for analgesic and AD effects.
I eat perfectly (whole grains, protein, good fats in 4-5 small meals a day), take plenty of minerals, vitamins, fish oil, exercise as much as my ankle allows, sleep 7-8 hours a night, etc. I am also hoping to start CBT and possibly EMDR soon for severe anxiety, panic attacks, and possible late-onset PTSD.
Also, does Remeron make you emotionally flat, cognitively impaired, or cloudy like other AD's? It seems to be the only one I would even consider putting in to my body.
