I found remeron easy to stop. I was on it for ~5 years. It has a longer 1/2 life so there should not be any troubling effects from stopping it. In theory. I stopped it cold with no problems, though
I moved to Lunesta. I would of had sleeping problems had I stopped it cold w/o another med for sleep. My sleep has been jacked all my life.I used to like it for sleep and as an augment to Effexor and then Wellby. However, after I go off it I discovered it was a player in causing weight gain as I dropped 35 lbs once I stopped it, Remeron was the partial cause. I also found it was causing apathy and was a player in killing my libido.
