Remeron?

I've taken Ambien off and on for years to help me sleep, but my Dr. wants me to go on Remeron - I've been feeling anxious and having lots of trouble sleeping, even with Ambien. Has anyone had any luck with this drug for sleep? I'm a bit concerned that it'll work too well and I'll be tired all of the time.

IMHO, Remeron is evil in pill form! Yes it will make you sleep, at first anyway...first pill I took, I literally slept for 3 days. The sleepiness is a side effect that will eventually go away, so it really doesn't make sense (to me anyway) that your Dr. would want to prescribe it for sleep. It has other annoying side effects that don't seem to go away...like turning you into such a major grouch that you can't even stand yourself, or giving you insane munchies for the worst possible junkiest foods. And even if you convince yourself not to eat them, you will still pack on the pounds. :blink:

Ambien has never really worked well for me either, for anything other than very short-term use. My doc prescribed 30mg Restoril (temazepam) and I've been taking it for several months now and it still works great. I don't even need it every night anymore, just 2-3 times a week. It will definitely help with the anxiety - that's one of my major causes of insomnia.

My husband tried this and it stirred up his restless leg syndrome (and his whole body shook while he was sleeping as well as his legs were "bicycling" while he was sleeping).

I was lucky enough to get to try remeron once or twice...a few years back ;)

Nasty stuff. You bet you will sleep, but you will feel totally gorked out and disconnected when you wake up. Not trying to scare you, just telling you the reality of Remeron.

In my humble opinion, you'd be much better off with the much misaligned Benzodiazpine class of medications, like Valium, Xanax and Ativan. At least with them you will still feel somewhat like yourself the next day. Despite all the hype about addiction, these drugs are no more so addicting than anything else. Just ask anyone who's ever come off of Paxil, if they were dependent upon it...

Benzodiazepines have been around for 30+ years...tried and true...AND off patent protection now, which motivates drug companies to push their new more expensive solutions...

A lot of the new crap they are pushing...no one is really sure of the side effects. Just ask all the people that tried Zyprexa and got diabetes from it..or gained 50 lbs in two weeks.

I mean, maybe I'm wrong, and you will be lucky enough to think Remeron is wonderful...it WILL make you sleep...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification. In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation...

I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
