Hey ya'll. I decided that I HAD to go back on the freaking Remeron because I just couldn't take the damn WD and the anxiety/nervousness I was having. Call me weak---but I figured that it was the lesser of evils for now. My situation being what it is means that I need to be "as mentally stable" as possible. I wasn't hardly able to function. So, I went back to the GP and told him that I made a mistake by DCing the Remeron. He was cool about it, and scripted me for 4 months. I can afford it cheaply enough ($14 a month), so for now, I'm going to just flow with it. Maybe one day I will be able to see a Pdoc and afford treatment again.

PAX,
There is nothing weak about taking care of yourself the best you're able to. Sounds like you're doing the responsible thing by recognizing sleep is vital to your overall health.
Day by blippin day sweetie. This too shall pass.
fondly,
moi

Took 15 of remeron for a month and no weight gain. Stopped cause didn't help sleep but that's me. No WB put me in the hospital was kind of manic. Or so thought the pdoc. I don't know. Phillipa

Hi PAX,
thx for checking in. I've been wondering about you.
Please try not to be hard on yourself. so you need meds right now. No big deal, I'd say!!!
Just take a deep breath. I think that you do NOT need the added stress of WD or tapering right now.
I don't know what you take R for? Was it anxiety? or sleeping? Either of them are important to control, I'd say & if it's with meds, so be it. I hope the side effects aren't too bad for you.
Please keep us up to date. You're in the process of forging ahead with a new life. I admire you. Please give yourself a good pat on the back!
xoxo Kath
