> Hang in there pinkee!!!
Are you still taking ANY remeron?? it could be the withdrawl as well as drug to drug interaction.
Like i say whatever way you can manage,, doit but again I stay firm on trying to overcome anxiety without meds... try to stay strong in your mind.
I do alot of distraction techniques too that help me if i get bad..
like listen tou your fav. music, or take a hot bath, or read a good book, eat a fav. food, go for exercise, challenge your mind (with something that takes full concentration), if possible. ANYTHING to distract u from thinking or sprialling into the anxiety /depression.
hope this helps!!
and ya, believe it.... Remeron is a VERY powerful drug,,, the docs dont warn you though(figures). It is a dual action drug , unlike other antidepressants which only mess with the serotonin, Remeron affects BOTH serontonin and norepinephrine(which is the oppposite of serotonin, basically). therefore I can see why there is much more side effects, and withdrawl hell...
God 'Bless.. p.s. Try gingerale to offset the nausea,, worked wonders for me when I first started to wean...
muskyAnxiety and depression creeping back up really bad, went back to .5mg klonopin this a.m. Can't believe Remeron can be so powerful. Really nauseated,but, my daughter had stomach upset yesterday too, don't know if its the Remeron on the bug. Anyhow, just wanted to throw this out there, please pray for me, pinkeetoz
