> I had a difficult time quiting Effexor. Starting Remeron at 15mg made me very sleepy and 30 mg is much better. However it is not so stimulating as the Effexor (so far). I think if you are overlapping Effexor withdrawal with Remeron startup effects, you will get mostly the Effexor withdrawal symptoms with some drowsiness. After about a month off of the Effexor you should see just the Remeron effects. I hope you have an easy transition.
Thank you, Sleepy Lizard. I hope I do too. Things are going okay, so far. My biggest concern is the weight gain.
I also read that Remeron can lower your white blood cells and make you more open to infections. Although this is rare, it worries me a bit--has anyone ever had to stop Remeron because of this?
