Hi Jim..
Sometimes more than 5, plus cookies! ha ha. I'm not oveweight either Jim, that's the funny thing about it, any girl that reads that is gonna be angry but...
anyway you are probably right, the chocolate probably isn't helping the matter, but I am addicted, its worse than any medication, I LOVE CHOCOLATE! That's a big problem. I need to ween myself off of it, I can't just stop, before taking the Remeron, actually I was much better than I was before, but after taking it, I wanted it again.
Honestly though, I am not sure how much caffinne is in a chocolate bar, I need to look that up, I think I would have to eat like more than 5 to have the same amount that's in a cup of coffee.
I was going to ask you guys also as I forgot yesturday.. If, now that I have stopped Remeron, and you guys have warned me that the withdrawl symptoms may come in a week or so, can you tell me exactely what symptoms will come and how exactley am I going to feel when they do come?
Thanks,
ToP
> Tired. Did I read correctly in that you consumed 5 chocolate bars a day? If that's the case, no wonder you're having severe panic attacks, lol. Normal refined sugar isn't too bad, but when you add caffeine like you have, you're going to be really shaky and irritable, guaranteed. If you can at least substitute the chocolate for something else with sugar in it, then maybe that will help. I do know what it's like to consume a whole bag of cookies in one day, though. The Remeron made me crave that all the time.
