> Hey all, I know that Remeron must have been discussed at length before, but I was wondering how hard it is to come down from it if one has been on 30mg for over a year? I am a problem sleeper,and I fear the insomnia if I stop the Remeron. Thanks!

PAX,

I have tapered very slowly (10% of current dose every 4 weeks) from 30mgs to around my current dose of 2mg. I generally didn't have any problems until I got below the 3 mg mark.

Since that time, I have had insomnia so bad that I can't sleep thoughout the night unless I take Benadryl. Unfortunately, it has slight ototoxic properties and due to suffering a hearing loss from Remeron and thus making me susceptible to drugs that cause hearing issues, I need to find something else to take. So far, I haven't found any natural remedies that work and I am not going to take drugs.

I fall asleep just find but wake up and can't back to sleep.

But if you haven't suffered hearing problems or similar issues such as tinnitus, you might find Benadryl helpful.

If you do decide to taper, please do it very slowly.

Good luck.
