> Hi jenico:
You need to really try to keep in your mind calm thoughts. the worse thing that we can do with not being able to sleep is to stress about it and TRY too hard to sleep... Have you tried relaxation tapes before bed??? a hot bath ? herbal relaxing teas?n or a nice swim in the evenings if you swim. ALL these things slow down the mind to prepare us for sleep. I know that when I was on the lower doses of remeron i was more sleepy than the higher doses.. that doesnt seem to be the problem here for you.. Try these suggestions and also check into acupuncture It really helped my sleep .. and helped me cope with w/d... dont be scared to come off of it totally... just work one day at a time.. and again keep calm...
Good luck
The body does kick back into sink after time , even when you are soo tired just try to have a no care attitude.. it really helps coping.Musky

I know you say lack of sleep won't kill you, but I don't know. My body can be very persistent and go for days with 2-3 hours. My dr has even suggested that maybe I'm having manic episodes but I don't think so.
