Hello everyone:
Some computer problems and severe withdrawal kept me pretty much useless the past week or so. Things got very bad. My head tension was so bad I thought something was seriously wrong. Advil has helped even though I don’t want to take it.
I was so fatigued, moving felt like a colossal chore. All I could do was lay down. I would wake up in the middle of the night with nausea and just this nagging anxiety/depression. Not terrible, just nagging. I had a decent few days with no nausea and then two days ago it started again along with the head stuff. My chest feels heavy also. Things seem to come in waves, up and down, up and down. I am just over 3 weeks so I hope it gets better.
My sleep is very different right now. I am sleeping much lighter which causes me to wake up easier. I wake up between 4 and 5:30 and don’t sleep much longer. 5 to 6 hours is the tops. I am just not getting that deep sleep and it causes me to feel down. I feel if I could get 7 good hours I could get over the hump but I fear that will never happen. I haven’t taken anything for sleep and really don’t want to but a good nights sleep would be wonderful. Sometimes I feel I am close to feeling “normal” and sometimes I fear I am crashing into something bad. Hard to know what is going on.
If I didn’t have you guys to let me know this is withdrawal I would think it is just my original condition.
When I weaned off of the benzo I had a month after the last dose that was bad and remeron has been much tougher so I guess maybe 3 weeks is still short. It is hard to look 2 or 3 months down the road.
Take care all and I hope you beat the remeron because I don’t know if I can right now.
Cheers
johnnyj
