In reply to W/D is brutal, posted by johnnyj on June 8, 2006, at 11:15:23
Hi Johnny:Dont worry I have too experienced some of these strange episodes and others you have not mentioned.
Right now mine has been the mood stuff up and down.and also anxious thoughts... but then the las couple days the mood had been not as much intense feelings..But yet 2days ago I had an almost full panic attack which i never had problems with panic for about 2yrs now.. to me this suggest definitely w/d. I also get this out of reality waves and sponge brain off and on. Some days more than others. My sleep is broken now. Hopefull I can get some relief with acupuncture tomorrow.
Did you go to your acupucturist??? I had wicked headaches up until the other day, they have now seemed to have gotten better.
Flu like symptoms not really..
Alot of nausea, but I have managed... still eating ok. I have been really exercising regularly which helps with the stress and getting the endophins moving.
For me it is the fear of crashing or all the old feelings of anxiety/despair that I had when coming off the amytriptylene. So I am scared of that happening again with the remeron w/d.. It seemed to have been a delayed w/d when i came off the amytriptylene.. But then that was a tricyclic, Remeron is a tetracyclic which scares me more.
Try not to let it get the better of you johnny.
JUst HANG IN... dont go back NO MATTER WHAT.
keep busy and if tired just rest.. I too have been yawning alot, but I am just pacing myself..
Physically im managing,, oh ya i have gotten the dizzy/.fainty kinda spells off and on too, but they pass. thats when i get anxious cause they happen more at work in the am and i get scared.. but then I just try to remain calm..
Are you exercising?? I know you are tired but even a brisk walk may boost your energy... try it.
The sleep should come around,,, remember it TAKES TIME!!!Good luck
Keep posting were all here for yu,
I understand ,,,im there too buddy.. feeling just as wierd as you have.. keep going k?Musky day 15 off
Hey everyone, I feel real strange.

> I woke up at 4, felt ok, slept fitfully for 1 hour and woke up feeling bad. More down than ups that is for sure. My head feels like it has been run over by a truck. If I move to quick I feel almost dizzy. At times, very nauseated followed by hunger. It is like my body cannot make up it’s mind . My chest will feel ok, then 30 minutes later all heavy. Please tell me you all have had some of these. I feel this is depressing me. I don’t know if I am feeling depressed or anxiety, just all weird. The fatigue is crushing. Tying my shoes took major effort this morning.

> I also was very agitated and irritable this morning. I just wanted to scream. I yawn all of the time yet cannot sleep well. This is crazy. I don’t recall my depression having all of this crap. I sleep maybe 4 hours and if I am lucky 5 hours. I am starting to think my brain is damaged or something. How long did the nasty symptoms last for you all? The heavy, spongy, flu like head is terrible. I am trying to gut it out but fear I am being pushed into a depression by the W/D. After I stabilized on 3.75 I felt better than I had in a long time even though the withdrawal was brutal from 7.5 to 3.75. But, now, this is the worst……pray for me guys and gals. I wish someone could put me into a med induced coma for 2 months until this is over.
>
> I am off for exactly 2 weeks now. I don’t know if I can take 2 more weeks of this but I DON”T want to take remeron poison anymore.

> Jules, Cashy, Musky and anyone else have any words of encouragement?
