> I guess the main point I missed was coming on and off the *same* drug. I still have a problem with it though, because the scenario you described above with the Remeron is symptomatic of human nature. People aren't doing these things for shits and giggles, but because it's human nature - they can't help it. In fact, I often read stories about how mere compliance with taking a pill once a day is not very well adhered to for a majority of the population. I personally cannot afford that luxury any longer, as that would blow away what little stability I have. If I miss any doses, I feel it.
