My 86 yr old mother is currently in rehab facility to strengthen her walking. The resident psychiatrist met with her and has prescribed Remeron. This is new to me so asking those who have taken or caring for someone who is taking it what their experience has been. Thanks.
I would also ask the psychiatrist why Remeron and not another antidepressant. Most psychiatrists have good reasons for picking one drug over another. Ask
When my cousin sustained multiple fractures, they knew she had poor balance, dementia and fell a lot, but it didn't seem to matter. I don't think they get senior care. That was my experience with orthopaedic doctors.
Is your mom in pain? Will this medication help with that? I might ask the doctor what others in the facility have experienced.
Mom in rehab? Post hospitalization or post fall or other accident at home?
