Hi,
When I came off 20mg of Seroxat (which worked really well for me) about 8 years ago or so, for a couple of weeks I felt rough but nothing like as bad as I had when I first ever got depressed, I was coming off and then after about a month I was ok, not brilliant but ok.
But I realise now that I was only really taking a small amount and they had such an insant effect, I remember feeling almost elated when I first started taking them so they must have worked really well.
I can't help feeling that if you find something that really works then after a while you would be able to come off them and feel ok again but if you've been taking something that has only had marginal results and you have not really fully recovered then when you come off them you will be in the same boat. So I reckon that that is why you feel so crap now. I don't think the Remeron ever worked for you properly, ever really put you into full recovery and that's why you're back depressed when you came off them.
I only believe that because now that I am taking 40mg which don't work that well anymore if I stop taking them for just a few days I start sliding back into suicide thoughts land again.
What do you think, did the Remeron help you much do you think when you were on them or only partly?
