In reply to Is this benzo related? Chemist? Anyone?, posted by rainbowlight on June 12, 2004, at 14:46:59
> If anyone can help me figure this out I would REALLY appreciate it, I'm going nuts here! A few weeks ago pdoc switched my sleep med from Restoril to Halcion. I tapered off the Restoril slowly because when I tried to come off it gave me nausea and kicked in depression, while adding the Halcion. Last Friday she pulled me completely off the Restoril and onto the Halcion. I am so nauseous and also very agitated and impatient. Is it the withdrawal that causes this nausea and agitation? I have never been through benzo withdrawal so I don't know if these symptoms are continued withdrawal or is it that the Restoril calmed me down during the day and now I don't have it anymore? I AM sleeping but I feel sooo horrible during the day. Fighting waves of nausea and feel fatigued. I also take Lamictal and a small dose of Zoloft. Also, a few months ago I weaned completely off of Remeron which I had been on for almost 3 years. I have also been dropping the Remeron weight like mad. I can literally FEEL my metabolism changing back and am burning hot all the time. Can anyone make any heads or tales of this for me?

>Hi Rainbowlight,
How long have you been without Remeron? One of it's side effects is that it's a good antinausea drug & may have been masking the nausea that might be coming from Zoloft or Lamictal.
Cheers,
