> hey johnny..
yes yu are right to wean off the lithium later when you are good and stable. I would do the same.
I know what you mean by the startle thing.. I had a litttle bit of it yesterday... just kept calm.
Today is day 3 without Remeron .. so far so good. NO real fatigue... sleep not too bad. I just noticed a bit of headaches , but that could be from anything.. I kinda was down earlier today,,, but i just kept pampering myself with stuff, started a good book, went for a walk, etc.
I go for acupuncture next Wed.. which is perfect timing as I will have been off 1 week by then.
Glad to see you are going to acupuncture too.. It really does help with all of this.. provided you have a good acupuncturist.. I have an awsome one.. He's traditional chinese one and has been in pracitice for over 15yrs... I trust him totally.I am very honest with him and that helps him tailor the treatment specifically for me.
take care
keep posting!
MuskyYes, I am on a low dose lithium. It was added years ago as an AD booster. My blood level is sub-theraputic but I am med sensitive so it is hard to know if it helps at all. I do plan to get off of that last after things are stable for a good period of time.

> This is my second day off remeron. I am very very fatigued today. Doesn't help I drove 1100 miles Wednesday through Friday either! I don't feel good or bad just down a tad because of the fatigue. I am not going to focus on it too much just relax. I go for acupuncture next week and I think by Friday I will need it.

> Sleep is quite broken right now but I do not have that startle anymore just sleep light ya know? I am in it for the long haul but so far this cut in dose is not as bad as from 7.5 to 3.75. Maybe the remeron caused the startle stuff? Good luck Musky and keep us posted.
