> Trying to get off Remeron. Took my last dose five days ago. I have replaced it with Edronax, but my depression is getting deeper and deeper, and I have terrible insomnia. Is this due to discontinuation symptoms or due to the possibility that I need Remeron to feel better?
It is hard to tell at this early juncture. You made two changes at the same time. If the depression gets worse instead of better, then it is likely that something other than a withdrawal depressive rebound is going on.
It may be that if you were to try taking a small amount of Remeron and observe that your depression gets better, your depression is a withdrawal phenomenon. I don't know if I would actually recommend such an action, though.
It could even be an untoward reaction to the Edronax. I reacted to Edronax by having my depression made much worse. Insomnia is a possible side effect of this drug.
