> But now I am just feeling terrible. Low. And so in pain. I thought that I was dealing with something in therapy quite well, but now I'm thinking that the only reason I was dealing with it "well" was coz I was so angry and psycho on 300mg that I just was able to bear the pain. And now that the 300mg is gone, the pain is suddenly really bad. Oh I'm so unhappy. Why can't things ever be right for us.

I wonder if the Remeron is perhaps not right for you?
I found that initialy at least Remeron made me slightly more depressed, because it made me tired and cognitivly slow.As for feeling that things are a certain way, I'd be suspicious of the validity of evaluations made when one is depressed.
