Now, Johnny, don't make me come out there after you!
Please stick around. There are new people popping in here all of the time who can profit from your experiences. Besides, I am not well-versed in Remeron withdrawal. It feels good to give support as well as get support.
I hope you reconsider your decision to leave. There are still people here who need you and who you can still count on for support when you could use some for yourself.
These boards change personality from time to time. They don't necessarily morph into something that is irreversible. If you feel the need to take a vacation from the Withdrawal board for now, that might very well be what is best for you. You might consider the other boards that are available.
Depression is a disgusting beast. It is a formidable foe that assumes many forms. It is stealthy and can creep up on you. It can be insidious or paroxsysmal. I feel like going into a lengthy dissertation here, but I would be a bit of a hypocrite to do so. Suffice it to say that depression is just one word used to describe a great many things; biological, psychological, and conditions where both interact. Use all of the tools that we have available. I won't endorse any one in particular, but know that biological psychiatry is in its infancy and that psychological therapies can work for the right conditions. In my mind it is not "us against them". It is more like "us and them". Someday, I hope it will just be "we".
Good luck to you. You are a good man.

> You even said you were not put on meds for depression so how can you compare to others with these disorders? You withdrawal may be different than us that took remeron for depression/anxiety. You make sweeping generalizations based on your own experiences and deem all meds bad. I just don't understand. I guess you feel this helps your situation but it doesn't help mine. I am out of here as this thread is no longer about withdrawal but just anti-med. Good bye to all that were supportive and good luck in your quest to get healthy.
