Marian... do uyourself a HuGE favor and DOOONT go back,,, I know its hard, but just keep telling yourself its the withdrawl and the body will Create a "false" crisis to get the drug.. much like a drug addict I hate to say...
look at jules.. managing fine it seems..try natural sleep aids.. ie) chamomile tea, valerian root(short term), acupuncture(very effective for insomnia/broken sleep).. watch out for the sleep aids.. they can be addicting and then have fun to try and get off of these,,as they disturb the normal sleep patterns... then insomnia returns with a vengenance when stopping these meds.. Natural products dont do this... try to get more info on this and talk to your doc..only if he/she is knowledgeable in this area.. alot of docs arent and will quickly prescribe yet another med..
just HANG IN there.. and yes think of your wt loss and you will look good again...
I mean so you feel better on Remeron and then still gain wt?? to me thats not a trade off, especially when remeron DIDnt make me feel good .. Ive hated my wt gain since day one... and have been on this drug for 3yrs.. IWant my body back.. ALL OF IT!Keep going.. one day at a time

I almost went back on Remeron last night! Not sleeping is killing me. I'm now on my third sleep aid, and while I can fall asleep without panic attacks, I'm up at 3am. And I'm exhausted and kinda without motivation all day long.
