Hang in there. I took Remeron for two years and stopped about 6 months ago. Only felt rotten for about two weeks. I have to say, though, that, after doing fairly well for about 5 months, my depression and panic [and hot flashes, which Remeron had completely stopped] came back with a vengeance. I briefly went on Effexor, and slept 24/7, so I'm stopping today [though I hear horror stories about withdrawal.]
Overall, the information I hear is that Remeron is easier to come off of than other drugs. On the Effexor withdrawal boards, I read that getting your doc to give you two doses of 10mg or 20mg Prozac while you go off something else helps, because Prozac leaves your body very slowly and there are no withdrawal symptoms. Hope that info helps someone.
