>Hey jenico:
I just noticed your post... I tapered very slowly and this really makes a difference... I went from 7.5mg and then to 3.75 mg then to about 2mg..
I cut the 7.5mg in half with a pill cutter which gave me the 3.75mg, then i cut that in half(roughly) or just used my nail to break of the bit which kinda looked like half.. this sounds very silly but that drug at least for me was very sensitive... I stayed on each dosage for about 3months... giving the body time to adjust each time... then I completely stopped as of 4days ago... so far so good... we'll see
HOpe this helps you outMusky
Jules,

> I read one of your earlier posts that mentioned a slow approach to tapering down on the remeron. As you are one of the ones who has made it for several months, I was interested in how long you did this. I'm currently taking less than 1/2 of a 15 mg pill. I split it in half then take another piece off the 1/2 pill, so not sure what that amount is. I only need it for the drowsiness, that's the only reason I ever took it! I thought on my low dosage I could just stop it, but was only able to stay off for about 2 1/2 weeks before I got so sick and sleep deprived I started up again.
