hi,

i was wondering if anyone experiencing the following:

i noticed after i tapered down from 15mg of mirt to 11.25mg i felt better for a few days. i was sleeping better, my anxiety and irrational fears decreased. However, that lasted 4 days and im back to not being able to sleep, feeling anxious and not like myself. Don't know if i should taper down some more.

ive also experienced dry mouth, night sweats, chills, agitation, restlessness, changes in appetite, unable to focus or think or remember things.

thanks for your help

    Hi,

    I was on 7.5mg. I went down to 3.75mg for two weeks. During that time I had some better moods (although my living situation improved), no panic or anxiety like I thought there might be, did have some flashes of despression/ill like feelings unknowing it might be withdrawal...Then I stopped Remeron all together... I didn't consider how long I had been taking it nor did it occur to me that I would

    experience withdrawal. I was just taking a small dose for sleep. DOOH! I've have many periods of bad nausea and flu like feelings, feeling hopeless/despair, gut cramping, some dizziness, headaches, vibration and some brief shakiness/weakness in legs/arms.... intense stimulation/restlessness, some irritability, etc.....

    My doctor said that going from 7.5mg to 3.75mg is typically not an issue but going from 3.75mg to a lower dose or completely off is. I should have tapered more after 3.75mg but I didn't think about it at the time... now I've been off for 5-6 days....

    The bad nausea has improved but the general malaise/ill feeling is still there in the background.... Little waves of mood swings, and other oddities come and go. The anxious feelings seem lower at the moment.

    I worry thing may get worse but I'm

    hopeful they will not. I still have some Remeron left if things get worse and I need to go back on them.

    I am taking vitamin e, cod liver oil, pharmagaba, magnesium , etc.... seems to help. pharmagaba has been really helpful to me for anxiety, stress before and after taking remeron.
