Hi there. I've been on Remeron since Feb 2007 and I guess it's helped a little. I have GAD and couldn't tolerate the reg SSRIs. I was very underweight and I gained almost 20lbs. I only need to loose about 3-4lbs to get back to my target weight. The only side affects I had when I started (at 15mg) was a cloudy head for about 5 days. I really helped me sleep great, didn't experience vivid dreams and I felt well rested in the morning. I felt I was doing OK and wanted to stop the Remeron. I called my doc and she said (I was currently on 30mg for about 6 months) to go down to 15mg for a week and then off. I thought that was too fast, so after the end of the 15mg I cut the pill in half and took 7.5mg for 5 days and off (my last pill was on Wed Sept 4). How long does it take to get this drug out of my system? I'm feeling more anxious, not much of an appetite and not sleeping as well.
