I found a positive mood-elevating "rebound" effect from stopping Remeron and considered taking it only once a week at a high dose and then letting it washout through the week so I could think and function. It has nearly a 40-hr. half-life, so it might not be a big deal, unless it was enabling you to sleep and to stop panic attacks or something like that.
