Thank you once again guys for all your support and good wishes.
The withdrawal goes on a long time. I'm a month post quitting, and if anything, it's tougher now. The depression is very bad...but that was the reason I got medicated in the first place (besides the insomnia). I'm in a pretty black place right now, but at least I realize that the depression is talking, not "me."
All I can say is, hang in there and get this nasty drug out of your system no matter how long it takes! But honestly, when I can see the psychiatrist again, I am going to ask for a different (hopefully, more benign) med. I've been battling severe depression all my life, and I've tried the usual things--exercise, light boxes in the winter, yoga, meditation, therapy, etc.--and nothing works except for meds.
Has anyone tried Prozac? That will probably be the next move(I've already been on Paxil, Lexapro, and Cymbalta, which have worked to various degrees before they stopped).
Thanks again, and good luck battling through this!
(PS: about the sexual stuff, I didn't find Remeron to be as bad as some of the others. Paxil was by far the worst).
