Jeninco,
You weren't kidding! Last night and this morning have been very bad. I had shooting headaches on the left side of my head, very shakey this morning, not clear for a lot of things. I don't haev a lot of panic or anxiety, but boy I feel like dirt. Last night after thinking about it I broke off around a 3.5mg section and took it. It helped alleviate some of the minor symtpoms I have having and I could sleep. But this morning, oh my.. so I just took another 3.5-4mg break off to try to balance myself. I think the three days on the 7.5mg was not enough even after being on this a short time I am feeling not very good. I have noticed the effects of this medication are very immediate so hopefully I will start to stable out soon. I will take 3.5 once in the morning and once at night for probably a 5 days to a week and then taper it down to 3.5mg once a day for awhile and then everyother day and then try to stop. Probably will take me at least two weeks.
I know Remeron has a 20-40hr half life, but since I had only been taken a half a 30mg pill for 11 days I figured the withdrawal would be easier, I am glad I am stopping this now, I can't imagine how I would feel trying to get off of it after taking it for a few months.
