Just wanted to add my update. I tapered down VERY slowly, and low, though not as long as others. I tried stopping at 3.75 and nearly ended up in the hospital, so I went back and immediately started a gradual taper. I went down to as much as 1/16 of a 15 mg pill every 3 days before quitting. For me, this was the right thing to do. My body is very sensitive to medication and I needed to prepare it.

Initially I had some nights where I didn't sleep much, and I did take some ambien every now and then the first month. But now, it's going on 1 1/2 months and I haven't popped an ambien in at least a month. I got where it didn't leave me feeling rested, I just wasn't awake all night.

Like Johnny, insomnia is my biggest fear. In a given week I'd say I sleep 8 hours 4-5 days. I stay up until midnight and get up by 8 (I'm at home with kids). Even so, anxiety or something will keep me up 2-3 nights a week, most of the time. It's unpleasant but not unbearable.

I have experienced no other anxiety or headaches, vs. before when I quit at 1/4 pill and SERIOUSLY thought I would lose my mind. I know there are those of you who said my tapering wasn't a good idea, but for anyone who is trying to quit remeron, I say it's worth while. This is how my doctor got me off zoloft as well.

Hang in there everyone-I wish you all the best.
