In reply to How to best quit Remeron?, posted by rainbowlight on December 17, 2002, at 0:58:54
I've had to come off remeron before in preparation for moving to effexor and my pdoc tapered me from 60 to 0 over two weeks. He said I could safely go down by 15mg every 2-3 days.
I experienced almost zero withdrawal effects other than the actual symptoms of my insomnia and anxiety coming back.
I'm tapering off it at the moment (Didn't like effexor in the end) to prepare for moclobemide and was told to just stop one night and start the other the next day.
I've also missed 3 days dosing when I was at 45mg and didn't experience any untoward withdrawal.
Basically, coming off remeron was a breeze compared to paxil...
YMMV and seek the advice of your pdoc before proceeding though.
