>Hey Johnnyj:
Ya I cant believe it either , us having so similar experiences on and off this drug..
Yes this anxiety is not fun... I just keep forcing it thorough.. Today was worse since stopping.. I was irritable ALL day, and then almost crying at little things, feeling sorry for myself.. annoyed at things, then got a huge fight over nothing with my husband.. I just wanted to run .. it was soo crazy today... I was very tense in the head, and face and dizzy... just couldnt shake it.. I almost thought maybe i should go earlier to acupuncture but my appointment is this Friday again.. Seems to have FINALLY settled down tonight.. worked on my music... that is always a good distraction for me..
Hey i meant to askyou another question.. did you or do you ever get where you have to just "scrunch up your face"? LIke its hard to explain.. its almost like i have to do this movement to release this overwhelming tension i feel.. I NEVER had this feeling until I was on the Remeron, and now again after stopping its picked up again.. it went away for a bit while i was tapering.. Im scared its a side effect, ? permaanent?? who knows... but it comes and goes.. Today was worse since i was soooo tensed up today..
AS for me working with the research people, yes, they did mention the adrenals.. its all true, and yes it will take time for those glands to settle down... months,.... so this could be what both of us are feeling right now.. who knows.. All i know is this drug did "something to me"" and I must keep plugging away as you say..
Thanks for the info on the google site, dr. kramer I will check out old posts..
I hope my mood is more stable tommorrow..
its been just over 1month now and really i thought maybe it wouldnt get worse, but now maybe the REAL Fight begins??? LIke why is all this w/d stuff so up and down and delayed i wonder???Hang in there... Its GOT to get better gotta believe it.
Oh my sleep is still not the greatest, but then better than say 2weeks ago.. I can get to sleep ok, but still waking up about 4am or 5am.. wide awake, cant doze back for the next few hours .. I hate this part.. and then the anxiety creeps in after Im up about 10-15minutes.. its soo wierd..

Hey Musky,

> I don't know what to say as so many times I read your posts and they read like my experiences! YES, I have the same thing after waking up, this anxiety feeling creeps in rather soon. It isn't like a panic attack just this weird, nagging sort of feeling. I do also have a lot of tension stuff in the stomach which moves up and down my chest, along with a burning sensation some times.

> I slept ok last night and when I woke up on the couch I was in a deeper sleep than I have been but still woke up again at 4 am and then slept on and off for a few more hours. It gets to a point where the nagging anxiety creeps back and then sleep is not going to happen anymore.

> I too have not had the startle since stopping remeron. I always suspected the remeron had something to do with it. I bought some chamomille tea and I hope that helps some. I am going to try and find skullcap tea too. I know what you mean about waking up and feeling rested and happy to get going. That feeling I long for too.
>
> Have you googled "remeron, dr. Kramer"? You will find some old posts by about remeron withdrawal. It is a good read.
>
> You mentioned something about working with research people or something? Have they said anything about remeron and adrenals? If I remember correctly I think remeron affects them and this takes a lot of time to settle down. I wish I knew what vitamins, foods, teas, etc., that would be good to take.

> I am trying to plug away. It is hard, but not much of a choice right now.
