Is Remeron Advisable While On Klonopin For Depression?

I have heard that taking an anti depressant has so many risks, and i don t know if the risks out weigh the benefits...I had recently watched a documentary about anti-depressants, and how they don t work without the use of some kind of benzo, such as klonopin, and the drug companies, which whom this person did work for, as a sales rep for a very big pharmacutical co. said it was all about them making the big money, and getting this new anti-depessant in Drs hands, and of course the free samples helps that... She had mentioned that using a type of benzo with your anti-depressant was the only way a person can make any head way with their anxiety, mood swings, depression...etc. This was an reputable documentary series, my question is why must they put a person thru all these different kinds of meds? When the patient definitely knows what they need and what works for them. Why do we have to play the Ginny pig ? My son is subscribed klonopin and he s also on suboxone...the two do not interact with him or the way the indications say they may..I don t know, I ll try her remeron for as long as it takes to (supposedly) see a difference. We have just started on the program of anti-depressants, and I guess I ll be waiting to see what, if any side effects happen

Hello,

It is on your dr to decide which drug combination would be suited to you.remeron can definitely be taken with Klonopin.

Benzo is added to the prescription only when anxiety symptoms predominate. This does not mean that prescription is incomplete.have trust, as all treatment policies are individualized.

Unfortunately, pharma companies are market driven.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
