Musky,
I couldn't go on. Everyone was telling me 2-3 months, up to 8 months...I couldn't do it. I have two small children in my care all day and I was literally unable to take care of them. I was also having company come and couldn't take care of the house-AND, I was hoping that the reason it had all gone so badly was due to the fact that I stopped cold turkey. I am/was hoping that tapering down slowly (I thought at only 3.75 mg it wouldn't be a big deal), as slowly as a sliver every other day, every 3rd, every 4th, etc. I did this with zoloft and aside from a few days of severe brain zaps felt nothing.
I have a prescription for ambien for when I literally can not get any sleep. I THINK I'm tapering down slow enough that maybe I won't need it. Don't know.
Not sure what to do if even through a sloooow taper I get that sick again. I ONLY took remeron for sleep, but I was thinking-can't go on much longer. And all I had to do was go back on. Sad.
Keep posting please. You give me hope.
