I have been taking remeron for two and a half years for panic and tic disorder. I've been taking 75 mg for a year. I am having very unusual sensory problems with odors, lights and heat setting off panic attacks several times a day (at least the heat part is better with the cold). No Im not depressed but I cant function like this. I had a sleep-deprived eeg but havent got the results back. Have had few (like 4) seizures in my life,I personally think this has something to do with my sensory problems with this medication. I've always had this sensitivity but now its driving me crazy.I'm also disgusted with the non-stop weight gain. Last time I tried to quit a got a rebound migraine. I did well on neurontin and seroquel for anxiety and would like to go back. Whats the best way to taper down without rebound/withdrawal effects?Would it help to up the neurontin while I taper down? Should I ask for a beta-blocker too to offset any potential migraine?
