> 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

People find it easier to withdraw from SRI drugs if they take a short course of a benzodiazepine. With the SRI drugs, I think this has an added advantage of preventing a kindling effect and may shorten the withdrawal time. But that's a personal theory of mine.
