>Sure scott Id be happy to provide some info on what my withdrawls have been so far:
Oh and I must add that these following symptoms were worse when I WASNT DOING ACUPUNCTURE and have been stabilized since.Here they are:
flu like symptoms(aching joints)usually happens within a few days after going to the next dosage, then subsides after about 1 week.
Headaches
nausea (agin starts within a few days after going tothe next dosage, then lasts for a couple of days)dizzyness
cloudy brain, derealization type feelings(lasts off and on during the whole time, but not as frequent now since being on the 2mg)itching(has started since going down to the lower doses)
mood swings, anxiety, depressed
tiredness
insomniaNow side effects that have DIMININISHED since I have been tapering are:
LESS vivid nightmares
LESS jerking(especially when trying to fall asleep)
LESS daytime agitation( although I am still bothered by it, especially the morning after I have taken my Remeron the night before).
WEIGHT LOSS (just by cutting back Remeron from 45mg to my current 2mg I have lost a total of 20lbs). Never had wt problem before... pre remeron wt was 107, post remeron wt = 145 lbs!!!
LESS frightining fantasies and daydreams ( again never ever had these thoughts in my life before Remeron).
Hope this helpsOh by the way.. why the survey??/ you a doc? or drug company person??
