Hi Jim,,
You know this community is very good in supporting each other. I paid US$5 on antoher website last year or longer to have a doc tell me how to taper Xanax correctly, and his reply was two sentences and you couldnt ask another question unless you paid another $5. How ridiculous is that. I am very happy that I found this site and kudos to the maker!
Anyway, yes I try to be humourous otherwise I would go nuts, but there are times I just want to pack it in as I get tired of not sleeping well, always waking up with a fast heart beat, numbness in my hands, which I suppose could be do to other conditions like not exercising.. but anyway...
Oh yeah fits of rage in the miltary probably went over real well! ha ha, but that's funny!
As for the withdrawl symptoms, as I said I am not sure I would recognize them anyway as pretty much everyday for the last 2 months I have felt like crap, we'll see though..

> Heh, heh, sorry to use the scare tactics like that on ya! And I won't go on too much more about that because I think you definitely get my point, lol.

> But, I will say that it seems like you're keeping a good sense of humour about everything and that is definitely a good sign.

> With everything that's going on, especially the irritability that you've spoken about, it's certainly hard to do that.

> Fits of rage describes to a "tee" what I went through while on all three anti-depressants that I was on (which I was on for a total of 10 years). Just think of what a great combination that the rage made with my military career, lol.

> And you also get a bit of that with the withdrawal, too.
>
> Now that I've been off for 38 days now, the rage is totally gone, but, I still have some of the sadness and headaches.
>
> Hopefully for you, like you've said, because you were only on the Remeron for a couple of weeks that your body hasn't time to totally acclimatize to it. I think that you likely have a much better chance of not having severe withdrawal symptoms for that reason. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya in any regard.
