Hi Lynda,
I hope I have the same luck with Remeron as you did. The withdrawl of the Effexor isn't really all that noticable, actually. I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and the pain is providing ample distraction from anything else I might be feeling!
I'm up to 60 mgs per day (hopefully I won't need to go higher) and the grogginess and constant hunger have gone away.
I'm *really* glad to hear that, as I gained 30 lbs on Lithium that I just can't seem to shake. Groggy I can deal but eating and never getting sated is a problem (although not so much at the moment. All I can eat so far it yoghurt.)
I used to take Ativan to help me sleep, but I haven't needed the Ativan when the Remeron is working well. I gained about 20 lbs., but it's holding at that. I gladly accept the 20 lbs. if it means I get to join the "world of the living" instead of being in the "world of the walking dead".
It would be nice to feel like me again. I feel so encourgaed by your experience with Remeron.
Thanks. : )
