I AM STILL TAKING MY REMERON AND WELLBUTRIN AND PLAN TO CONTINUE TO DO SO. HOWEVER, TO THOSE OF YOU TRYING TO WITHDRAW, I OFFER THE FOLLOWING REMEDY: TO ONE GALLON OF WATER: ADD 1 TABLESPOON OF CHAMOMILE (DRY HERB, RELAXANT, SOURCE OF CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM), 1 TABLESPOON OF CATNIP (DRY HERB, RELAXANT, SOURCE OF VITAMINS A, C, AND B-COMPLEX) BOTH CHAMOMILE AND CATNIP ARE VERY EFFECTIVE FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM ANY DRUG) (IF YOU HAVE CATS, AS I DO, THEY LOVE CATNIP RAW AS WELL AS THE VALERIAN RAW!), 1 TABLESPOON OF BLACK COHOSH (DRY HERB, RELAXANT, SOURCE OF CALCIUM, POTASSIUM, MAGNESIUM , AND IRON) ( CHAMOMILE, CATNIP, AND BLACK COHOSH HELP ALLEVIATE HEADACHES AND PAIN), 1 TABLESPOON OF VALERIAN (DRY HERB, SOURCE OF MAGNESIUM, POTASSIUM, GREAT FOR PAIN AND DRUG WITHDRAWAL) VALERIAN TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO AS IT STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN AND CAN CAUSE DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS IN SOME INDIVIDUALS OVER TIME IN MUCH THE SAME WAY AS SOME ANTIDEPRESSANTS DO OVER A PERIOD OF PROLONGED USE, ADJUST THE AMOUNT AS NEEDED), 1 TABLESPOON OF ST. JOHN'S WORT( DRY HERB, RELAXANT, HELPS WITH THE "COLD SWEATS" OF WITHDRAWAL, HEADACHES, AND THAT "THICK" FEELING ASSOCIATED WITH THE RESIDUAL BUILDUP OF DRUGS IN THE SYSTEM), 1 CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT ( AT LEAST 450 MILLIGRAMS( CALCIUM IS THE BODY'S NATURAL SEDATIVE AND IS DEPLETED WHEN TAKING ANY DRUG OR CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL OR SMOKING), 1 THUMB OF GINGER ROOT OR 1 TABLESPOON OF GINGER ROOT POWDER. BRING TO A SLOW BOIL AND ALLOW ALL HERBS TO SETTLE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE COOKING VESSEL, STRAIN OFF AS MUCH OF THE HERBAL RESIDUE AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID BITTERNESS . STORE IN REFRIGERATOR, HEAT OR DRINK 1 CUP CHILLED WITH HONEY OR RAW SUGAR 1-2 HOURS BEFORE BEDTIME. TEA CAN ALSO BE TAKEN WHEN FEELING ANXIOUS THROUGHOUT THE DAY, YOU MAY NEED TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT TO AVOID DROWSINESS. REMERON DEPLETES CALCIUM AND VITAMIN C IN PARTICULAR, THAT IS WHY THE CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT, AND A VITAMIN C TABLET AND A MULTIVITAMIN( C AND MULTIVITAMIN IN THE MORNING WITH FRUIT OR BREAKFAST, CALCIUM BEFORE BEDTIME TO ASSIST WITH RESTFUL SLEEP) ARE VITAL TO THE WITHDRAWAL PROCESS. TRY TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER TO FLUSH OUT RESIDUAL BUILDUP AND, IF YOU CAN, DO AN HERBAL CLEANSING, MANY CAPSULE AND TABLET CLEANSING SYSTEMS ARE AVAILABLE AT YOU LOCAL HEALTH FOOD MARKET, GNC, OR VITAMIN OUTLET. COLD TURKEY IS NEVER THE WAY TO GO BECAUSE SO MANY THINGS ARE DEPLETED FROM THE BODY WHEN TAKING PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC DRUGS. I FOLLOW THIS REGIME IN ADDITION TO TAKING MY REMERON AND WELLBUTRIN FOR THAT VERY REASON. LOTS OF GREENS ( DOWN A COUPLE OF SPRIGS OF RAW PARSELY) ARE NECESSARY TO REPLENISH YOUR WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT, THE MAJOR DEMON ACCOMPANYING REMERON IS THE REDUCTION OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS, THE INFECTION FIGHTING CELLS OF THE BLOOD. RECENTLY, ON THE CRAZYMEDS.COM SITE SOMEONE ERRONEOUSLY ACCUSED REMERON OF CAUSING HERPES WHEN, IN FACT, IT WAS THE REDUCTION OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS THAT ALLOWED THE LATENT CARRIER OF THE HERPES VIRUS TO SUDDENLY ERUPT IN A FULL BLOWN CASE OF HERPES. THE HERBS MENTIONED ABOVE CAN ALSO BE PURCHASED IN CAPSULE, TABLET, OR LIQUID SUBLINGUAL DROP FORM, ALTHOUGH, AT A MUCH INCREASED EXPENSE AND DECREASED CONTROL OF DOSAGE. WARNING! MANY DROPS OR LIQUID SUPPLEMENTS MAY CONTAIN SOME FORM OF ALCOHOL TO ASSIST THE BODY IN ABSORPTION. GOOD LUCK WITHDRAWING! LIFE
