> I haven't experieced anything else like it. Once I was in the ER for some other reason and a man in a nearby room was screaming in pain. His problem was pancreatitis. I didn't scream, but I did moan fully aware that the doctors and nurses on duty had dismmissed me as exaggerating.

> Doesn't my experience with remeron indicate physical addiction? Yet one doctor told me "remeron isn't addictive". Clonidine withdrawal does cause elevated BP and elevated pulse and a doctor told me "clonidine doesn't effect pulse". They're disgusting.It is hard to disagree with you. You are right about some. I think E.R. doctors are more likely to go by the book because they have to deal with so many things that are outside their field of specialty.
Remeron generally isn't "addictive" in the true sense of the word. Addiction involves physiological CRAVINGS and/or psychological compulsions. What you are suffering from is physiological DEPENDENCY and true withdrawal.
Sorry to be picayune about words. They can be important.
