Remeron Withdrawl - 7.5mg for sleep

all of the above im afraid. the nausea was overwhelming, around 2weeks, deffo cant sit still, go to bed at 9 to avoid the pacing!! sleep pattern awful first few weeks, feel a lot better now, 5weeks without it, sleeping a wee bit better, nausea gone, loosing some weight too thank god i do miss the sedative effect tho

yes, you will get withdrawal even on a low dose. you shouldnt be thinking of coming off it for at least feeling good for a minimum of 6 months, possibly longer. have your life circumstances improved, so you can come off them? if youve felt good for at least 6 months, and you feel you are in a better place, you need to withdraw much more slowly than you have done you cant halve the dose for a week then stop, and expect no withdrawal symptoms. you now either tough it out, for however long it takes, assuming its right for you to come off in the first place, or go back up to 3.75mg, and stay on that for a couple of months or until youve settled down and feel good on that lower dose, then try stopping again.. you cant stop and start anti depressants when you feel like it.

i did cold turkey 4weeks awful, better now, feel soo much better the drugs are out of my system im not saying go cold turkey tho, i have other medical issues x

my sleep pattern went to pot when i first came off it!! was getting about 4hours a night, intermittent tho, on the plus side im not as drowsy now it made me knackered by 8pm every night, the nausea has gone now, thank god, i had it a good two weeks,im glad its outta my system now, i was only on 15mg dose as well pretty hard to believe i got all the awful withdrawl symptoms!!!

It seems the restlessness has subsided for now, it eased up last night. It seems that the nausea is worst in the morning and afternoon and not as bad in the evening. Can eating make the nausea worse?

I found a compound pharmacy near me that compounds Remeron so I'm checking with my doctor to see if maybe I can get a 2mg and 1mg dose to finish tapering with....

Anyone find anything that helps them sleep? Would taking a OTC antihistamine sleep aid like Unisom help or even be a good idea?

i take a lorazepam 1mg, helps with anxiety and relaxes me more for sleep, just about twice a week tho, they build up in the system even at that low dose which i dont like!!!

Hi,

Well I've gone through some major ups and downs with feeling ill, malaise, feelings of despair etc... Then I was hit with fatigue both physical and mental and even felt sedated....then two days ago in the afternoon it all just lifted and I felt decent. I thought I was out of the woods 😃 until this afternoon when I was at the store doing on when I felt some butterfly like feelings, then armpit sweats, then feeling a little shaky, but mentally ok until I got home and had waves of feeling despair, panic like something bad was going to happen like I was dying, then things tapered off but I still feel uneasy....anyone experience that?

I found a previous couple of posts I made when I originally went on Remeron for sleep and depression/anxiety and was only on it for 2.5 months. I was taking 7.5mg for most of the time but was on 15mg for two weeks. I explained my withdrawal with some of these comments "but then after that last dose, all heck broke loose. I got nausea, insomnia, lack of appetite, then panic/depression set in, tearful, etc... this lated about 1.5 weeks, then I thought I was improving, then I had body aches, head aches, spasms, etc... Then I felt a little better for a day or two, but now I'm feeling very mentally panicy, pending doom feelings, depressed, alhtough I can eat, I just have this feeling of ill, like something isn't right. I fear everything, etc...."

I took Remeron this time around for sleep but planned on only taking it occasionally, but oops....for some reason my last experience was a blurr and didn't recall the withdrawal hell I had experienced. I was just desperate for sleep. Some of the withdrawal anxiety and depression may have been due to having those issues before going on it and the withdrawal made the issue worst. Since then I've resolved most of my depression and anxiety with Pyroluria treatment (tested positive) and with amino acids etc...I think this is why I've had less anxiety/panic with this withdrawal although they still hit in waves but to a lesser degree. The depressed feeling got bad at times but only when I felt really ill. Hoping this all passes soon!
