Hey jules... as I have been off this Remeron ... its been 6days now.. alittle more down today,, but I just went into my little survival bag and pulled out some meditation tape and listened to that, sat out in the sun, and finished a novel of mine.. But I cant help but wonder if this drug does permanent damage... i know i sound a little paranoid maybe here.. but its been on my mind.
I havent found any evidence to this out there and Im told by a pharmacologist friend of mine that the effects of the Remeron should only be temporary and that it wouldnt damage the receptors in the brain... that the receptors will kick in again after the drug is gone...
Help... I think I need alittle reassurance right now , especially since my mood kinda dwindled today... I was thinking of you and it seems you are doing all right...no permanent scars(lol)? Also how long were you on the Remeron?? I was taking it for 3yrs(total time including tapering time).. so actually I was on it for over a year and started weaning in 2004 >> I think>>>
I have it written down some where.
Hope im not sounding too silly here...just a little worried of what I did to myself ...with this horrible drug.Musky
hi jenico,

> i actually think i didn't have a good experience splitting a pill more than once as you are doing - i suspect it made my doses uneven (this is totally unscientific, but it made me wonder if at the lower doses having inexact pill sizes means your dose really varies when you split it this way). i found i felt better at the lower doses when my dr. prescribed a scored 7.5mg tablet and i split that in half when needed. i'd recommend talking w/ your dr. about getting on a low low dose if you want to just take it for sleeping and/or are looking to go off completely eventually, i hope this helps!
