Hi goldenslumbers,
At first I was just on remeron & klonopin because I was diagnosed GAD. I had anxiety which the remeron is for plus the klonopin. Then a yr. later I come down with depression which the remeron wasn't helping so the Dr. put me on lex. So I take remeron for anxiety & lex for depression. I am currently weaning myself off the klonopin. But I don't think I will ever be able to get off the antidepressents. I wasn't on effexor long enough to have withdrawl symtoms. The first week I took it I had insomnia so bad & was so tired I couldn't get out of bed. The Dr. took me off & kept me on the remeron until the lex was added.I went through a lot of meds before I found this combo. So far the withdrawl from klonopin hasn't been bad. I only take 1mg. a day so I started by cutting my evening dose in half. I have been at that for 6 weeks. Two more & I will cut my a.m. in half. I hope this answers your questions.
Regards,
Zena
