Philip,
i've been off remeron for about 7 months now after taking it for about 6 or 7 years. i feel like some of my depression has come back, but i'm not sure if it's biological or not. i'm continuing to work on it with therapy and alternative medicines. i've found that it's incredibly important to have a support network and ways to take care of yourself (careful eating, exercise, rest, etc.) to ease the withdrawal and also give yourself a safety net if the depression comes back. i'm working on giving myself a deadline for if things don't get better i'll try medication again. i may just try it for a time, i may be on it indefinitely. i'd like to avoid it if i can, but i want to have a good quality of life, too.
take care,
jules
