Did you taper slowly off of Remeron?
Sounds like hell. I'm really sorry.
I LOVE your chosen name. A favorite philosopher of mine.
I hope you feel better.
> In 2001 I started taking remeron and effexor and clonazepam. After a year of trying I've gotten off all of them. A year of insomnia and stomach pain. I have been off the remeron for two months. Without even trying I have lost twenty pounds. My systolic blood pressure is lower by twenty points.

This is qualitatively different from any sort of depression I've experienced in the past and the physical symptoms do not resemble those of depression. For the first time I can say there is something biological going on.

> I have taken many SSRIs and effexor and have discontinued all of them without any ill effects.
