>Hey Cashy... good to hear you are sticking it out.. you sound like a FIGHTER and will win this battle... IVe done some more research on Remeron and its pharacodynamics... Did you know that females metabolize remeron at a slower rate than males.. therefore the half life is much longer. The average half life of remeron is 20-40hrs.. so its no wonder withdrawl takes a long time..
Docs dont tell the patient this though.. at least mine didnt.. and they all prescribe the same dose for males and females... how dumb is that!!
Anyways... hang in and it will get better... look at jules and johnny...
I guess im next to go off completely ....12 days and counting...
I take my last remeron then.Musky
Hi Jules, just picked up your message too johhnyj, hope you don't mind me replying for some reassurance... I'm 7 days into being free of remeron, which i'd been on for 18 mths or so, 45mg, then 30mg for 12mths, i cut down 15mg to 7.5mg over a week or so. In the last day or so my sleep pattern has been terrible, maybe 1 hour at best, and anxiety levels are very high, especially in the morning... Is this what you experienced, i'm just going too grit my teeth, and see it through, but just wanted some confirmation of the w/d symptoms..
> Cheers. Cashy72
