"Remeron has helped me in a great deal. It has helped me sleep which was non-existent for such a long time and I can finally function during the day.

"This was a good med for crisis mode. After crisis time I got off the olanzapine and stayed on just the antidepressant, fluoxetine. The olanzapine makes you tired and fat if your on it long, but works to calm crazy thoughts. Take it about 2 hours before bed time and you will sleep like a baby. Lowest dose for me."
