> So, I've thought about this and I am very dense when it comes to math. If I have not taken the remeron 7.5mg for two days, this being the third, when will I be totally clean of the remeron? How many days? Fondly, Phillipa
According to standard medical definitions, a drug is gone from the body after five half-lives (that's 1/32, i.e. 1/2 to the fifth power). This half-life is 20-40 hours, so 100 to 200 hours are required for complete elimination. That's 4 to 8 days.
You can look at it another way, though. It seems you have had no adverse reaction to stopping the med (I didn't see any remarks to that effect), so you can say in practical terms, the drug is gone from your body.
