I've been taking remeron 15mg. for approx. 4-5 years. Geez, pretty bad when I can't remember when I started! Anyway, my p/doc has said it was okay to stop, when, trialing knew meds.
Everytime I stopped, my main issue was sleep, or lack there of. I really did not notice other withdrawl symptoms such as an increas in anxiety or a regression in my mood.
Keep in mind I was only on 15 mg's so I would certainly consult with my med. practioner prior to stopping cold turkey.You situation may be different than mine.... current med cocktail, starting different med. etc.
I'm back on Remeron 15mg. and untill I find a med that allows me 8 hrs. sleep with minimal drug interaction/side effects, I will continue it.
Yes, weight is an issue for me as well. I'm 6'-2" and currently 222lbs. I would like to get back to 210lbs.
I seem to yoyo alot... health kicks for 6 mnths. weight is good and then I put it back on. The cycle has been going on since I started Remeron. All part of my depressive episodes I guess, and maybe a little to do with my metabolism/age?
Goodluck with whatever you decide.
Rick
