Hi everyone. I'm sorry for all your pain, I can completely relate to what's going on. I have been on 45mgs of Remeron for 10 months and 5mgs of Abilify for 6 months. I slowly weaned off of the abilify, which was prescribed to potentiate the Remeron, over 33 days and then went to town on the Remeron weaning. I think it was a big mistake because after cutting the dose from 45 to 30 to 22.5 over just seven days I started having awful withdrawal;. Super anxiety, increased depression, insomnia, crying etc.. just pure hell. I now have gone back to my full dose of 45 and things are ever so slightly better and I'm hoping I can get back to "normal". Things weren't very good on the drugs but off of them they're much worse! I'm going to see a new Psychiatrist tomorrow as my old one quit on me cold turkey saying, "there's nothing else I can do for you" when I asked him for a change in medication. Can you believe that?! So much for the Hippocratic Oath. Anybody with more info or stories please post and keep this thread going. Remeron withdrawal is REAL!! God bless you all and I hope you come through it for the better.
Regards,Mike
