In reply to Going off Remeron, posted by Halfway on October 25, 2002, at 16:40:52
Of all the ADs I've been on, Remeron caused the least amount of rebound junk effects. If you've only been on it 3 weeks or so, going off will be unpleasant for another 3 weeks but not disabling. Better than dragging it out. Extra calcium, magnesium and vitamin C and B's - heck, a good mutli-vitamin and lotsa water will help to ease things. Good luck. I still haven't lost the extra 30 pounds I packed on.
> Does Remeron need to be 'phased out' like many other ADs? Or will cold turkey be bearable.
