Help! After going on Remeron for two years, and then going off without too much of a withdrawal problem, I was sort of okay for a few months with nothing more than an occasional Ativan. But the past four months or so, I have had a rebound crash of anxiety and depression that has been terrible.
I have so much anxiety, I have been unable to work for weeks; feel too dizzy and spaced out to shop, and have barely socialized at all.
Anyway, I broke down last night and took 15mg of Remeron last night for the first time in 9 months, and have been pretty much sleeping for the past 20 hours! After much back and forth, I decided I am not going back on the Remeron, and am going to try just more exercise and relaxation, meditation and stuff.
I just had so much fatigue on the Remeron, and some [but not too bad] weight gain. I did okay on it, to the point where I could even travel to Europe for the first time, but looking back, that whole two years is a bit of a blur, and I think I was in a bit of a fog the whole time.
Prozac gave me anxiety; Zoloft gave me mania; Luvox made me really feel weird; and I'm too scared of the withdrawal of both Paxil and Effexor to even try them.
Just wanted to vent. Thanks, all.
