me too pinkee
I am just trying to figure out this message board
let me know if it gets to you ok?I understand that you are trying to get off remeron. just remember one drug is just replacing another... then you will have to get off the klonopin.. etc.
I dont know how you feel, but what has been working for me is acupuncture.. since I have been doing this I havent had any anxiety meds... none for almost 2yrs.. I just made up my mind to do it. I realize that the best way to overcome anxiety is to face it head on! yep head on.. like if you take say ativan or something else to combat anxiety then lyou never really feel the anxiety, right? the pills calm u down til the next time.. I know this doesnt really sound inviting, but I have been also going to cognitive therapy and it taught me that you really want to feel anxious so that you will fight all the harder to overcome it... but hey whatever works for you. but if you truly want to be free of meds. then look into acupunture. It has really , really helped me... and I am able to so far come off the remeron(slow taper) without too much side effects that take over. I think that I would be alot worse off without the acupuncture..Good luck and keep me posted, Sorry for rambling,, just want to help
