    Reading on this forum, this drug is very good at the start and then seems to stop working. I think going ct from 30mg is too much. Perhaps you should have come back down to 15 then took it more slowly to come off it.

      Your symptoms could be the tapering of zoloft. Hopefully the tremors etc will subside soon.

    Hey just reading all the comments. I have been on remeron 30 for seven months now. Yes there was initially tiredness, waking with a panic and anger. I stuck in with it and these side effects lasted about 9 weeks before i felt better. I was on this med before and recovered. I was put on escitalopram seven weeks ago as well as i was still feeling anxious.  Now i feel amazn no side effects, mood uplifted and back at work. Excercising and completely enjoying life. I dont even know im taking my meds now and when i came off this combination no side effects at all. Hope u get better soon. I to had very bad panics on wakening but it passes.
