Off Remeron

[raggamuffin]

In 2 weeks from 45mg. It's been hell and I know I came off it way too fast. Now I have to ride it out. The nausea, the dizziness and the usual daily aches have intensified greatly. Horrid stuff. Supposedly one of the easier medications to come off...hahaha yeah right. I don't want to try another med if this is what happens. It doesn't help your anxiety then when you come off it, it makes your anxiety worse than it's ever been.

The bad part about the antidepressants is that you have to come off them very slowly. I have even gone months reducing just a tiny bit at a time.

Yeah, was my own fault really. Today hasn't been so bad thus far. Although i'm still finding it very hard to sleep and i'm currently running on 3 hours sleep.

The good news is it will get better with each passing day!

You are moving in the right direction, Just think of it as "Im off Remeron because i don't need it and anxiety is a past part of me!

I came off it because it didn't make a dent in my anxiety or 24/7 pains I get. But coming off it made my anxiety worse than its been in a long long time. Appetite has returned slowly but surely. Nausea comes and goes as well as dizziness but it's not been as intense as it was. Aches and pains still hang around daily. Overall anxiety doesn't feel as high as it was but depression has been on the up. I'm sleeping for longer now but still waking up every morning feeling like I got very little sleep so I guess my quality of sleep isn't very good.

11 days now since being off it completely. Appetite still isn't quite right. Feel nauseous and dizzy a lot. Aches and pains as ever and stomach aches. Could all be anxiety symptoms mind you. Rather difficult to tell. The lack of appetite isn't normal for me though. But anxiety can affect appetite with people and just because it hasn't before doesn't mean it wouldn't now. Lost 0.5 stone of the 1.5 I put on since starting the medication. A ways to go still but shouldn't take too long hopefully.
