Hello, everyone. After reading a ton of the E-Mails that you've all kindly shared on here, I'm realizing that I know absolutely nothing about Remeron and it's withdrawal, or at least nowhere near what a lot of you know.
The last day and a half, it seems that I've kind of hit a bit of a wall, as to my own withdrawal. I'm now in my 16th day and the depression and weepiness has kicked in for the whole time pretty much, now. I'm having doubts on whether the symptoms I'm having are a result of the remeron withdrawal or I'm reverting back to my original anxiety and depression. Deep down, I think that I'm on the right track, but because of the symptoms I'm having, I'm really having doubts. I haven't reverted to the paranoia that I suffered originally 11 years ago when I first started on anti-depressants (thank god) and the depression doesn't seem as bad either, but still very, very daunting. Also, I've been itching like crazy, too, very freaking annoying. I'm going off on a week long trip tomorrow to see some friends and I'm hoping that no serious symptoms occur where I might give up and go back on the Remeron.
If Remeron is the culprit of these nasty symptoms, then I'm totally beginning to change my mind about how productive it and a lot of other Anti-depressants really are. In fact, it's starting to make me very mad.
I've read that some doctors actually have the audacity to prescribe this medication for lack of sleep?????? What the hell is up with that?????? That, my friends is a total and utter crime. Totally disgusting that doctors aren't better educated and/or trained on this subject.
What I also find maddening is that physician's don't have a test to decide whether or not a patient should have a particular type of medication or not. A lot of money spent on development of new drugs but none spent on the proper usage thereof, wow.
Anyhow, I apologize for ranting, but, as a lot of you can relate (unfortunately), I'm pissed off, upset, very frustrated, and damned tired.
What I will say before I close is that it's comforting to know that you all are out there to offer support.
Thank you all and wish me well, please. I think I'm going to need it.
Jim
