YES! I weaned off my 15-mg to 7.5-mg for about two weeks and then to 3.75-mg for three days and then none. I only lasted 10-days. At times just watching tv or thinking about something in the past I became teary eyed. I am a guy and althought things tend to tug at my heart this was very pronounced. I did feel almost manic. I did find some literature that talked about some manic behavior. I do think if I would have stuck it out it would have slowly subsided but at this time in my life I couldn't take the time to wait the insomnia out.
Now, I know I must take it very slow and stay on a dose for about 3 weeks to a month before reducing again. I will say my teary episodes were not negative and I didn't feel bad, tears just flowed when something struck a nerve.
I think it is just your brain trying to adjust to the reawakening. I feel remeron blunts many things with me.
What doses were you on? How did you wean off? What other side effects did you have? The insomina when I went off was the worse symptom.
Please post how things are going for the rest of us remeron users. Thank you and I hope this helps a little.
I have found that eating and especially drinking lots of water to be one of the best things.
