Thank you for the support,musky and johnnyj. I won't go back just yet, but I'm miserable right now. I miss the Remeron-enabled sleep, I've gotten terribly depressed, and the weight loss doesn't seem to make me look any better. In fact, I think I look absolutely awful.
I do believe that that's partly the depression and sleeplessness speaking, though.
It's been a month (maybe more) since I took my last dose. It's so HARD to get over this drug!
What's worrisome (among many other things about Remeron) is that now, looking back, it seems to have given me an artificial energy. I could work out for a solid hour and still be raring to go. Even allowing for having insufficient sleep right now, I can barely get through a half an hour at half the pace. I DON'T think the difference is only due to depression and/or its alleviation. I think this is yet another sinister aspect of the med.
If I could figure out where to get acupuncture around here, I might give that a try. The alternative is to be put on another SSRI (I've already tried a few), and I'm not sure that would be a great move.
Sorry to be so down. You guys have been a wonderful support.
