Hi, TIRED. Sorry, I didn't mean to steer you wrong on this matter. All I meant was that some people, as I've noticed on this website, have taken a year or more to wean from Remeron, because the symptoms are so bad. And as much as I strongly dislike saying this, that some people actually do need AD's. But, I firmly believe that these AD's are only good as a temporary measure, until the "OH SO HELPFUL" doctors figure out what is causing their "panic" or "depression".
More problems are created because a lot of people are on this AD's a lot longer than they should be, and that's when their bodies and neurological systems get totally out of whack
All I'm suggesting is that if the withdrawal symptoms are too strong, then taper it a bit more and regardless you'll still need a lot of patience.
One question I do have for you, though is since you started taking Remeron, did your original symptoms subside at all or has Remeron just been a total hindrance?
And I know that I speak for a lot of other people on here in saying that we all have concern for you for things to get better.
