First of all, please don't apologize for posting about your neagative experience. We all need honest feedback about how people are doing.
I have very bad withdrawals that leave me psychologically worse than before I start the drug, so it is important to me that I know that the drug does have a withdrawal syndrome so that I can weigh the risk of trying it. I don't have much of a life now, but I can be much much worse. People who don't have the withdrawals or who have withdrawals that only make them physically ill but not catastrophically mentally worse can't understand this.
Just to let you know, I also experienced pretty severe withdrawal to remeron, which you mentioned you were taking. Could you also be experiencing remeron withdrawal? Remeron has a longer half life, so you woulnd't have started having symptoms until day 8-9 at the earliest and up to two weeks at the latest. (Remeron has a variable half life in people, the half life being longer for women and shorter for men).
What other drugs have you had severe withdrawal to and how long has it lasted?
I always get suicidal during withdrawal to. I know it is hard to believe it will ever end, but please, please, please hang on.
It is a good sign that you are still searching, ie the Chinese medicine doctor. Have you ever tried any of the amino acids?
My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.
Thank you so much for your posts.
By the way
