>Hey johnny:
Yes that is EXACTLY been my experience on this drug.. more panicky and restless, I cant even stand still in the grocery line without have to tap a foot or march in place.. sounds ridiculous eh?? but yet this is so true... and totally embarrassing... I get tension in the head alot, but like i said in previous posts .. acupuncture has been curbing this.. I can just imagine what I would be like without my herbal relax and the acupuncture!! Anyways yes you sure can get w/d at the 3.75mg dose.. Those doctors all deny it.. but they dont TAKE IT so how the heck would they know???!!! Also my doc told me the same sh*t. that I shouldnt even notice the drug by now.. Thats totally false... according to what ive learnt that its inverse(homeopathic) effect. Even my acupuncturist has told me that the lower you go the more the body starts to notice that less andless of the drug is there and trys to create a "false " crisis to keep the drug in the system(ie,, yu keep taking the a/d)..
In any case hang in there.. it takes a LONG time to adjust.. For me I got the heavy head, nausea, etc EVERY time i would reduce.. also dizzy , irritabilty , etc.. then I would tell my acupuncturist and he would "smooth" things out.. I would get atreatment and noticed right away how i calmed down..
Gingerale is my Godsend for nausea...Good luck

Hi Musky,
>
> I would love to know more about the drug. When I started remeron I had terrible anxiety. I have depression with anxiety and it was horrible when I first took the med. I am down to about 3.75 and the cut was two weeks ago. Well, I had a decent 5 days followed by 3 not so good with one panicky night. I then had 4 nights and 5 days of feeling much better. Then last Sunday I had the startle effect and yesterday was not good, today is better though but my chest is kind of full. Could this be withdrawal? My doc said probably not. However, when I went on the remeron I was not this panicky. I have some head stuff and nausea too. I wish I know more what to expect. Has anybody else had these symptoms when cutting a dose?
