Hey cherylann, I checked and saw this. Thanks for the reply.
By coincidence, before reading your post I went back to 15 mg Remeron last night. (I know it's generic now but Remeron is easier to spell.) The reason I have stopped it in the past is weight gain, but honestly, it wasn't even that much weight. And that could be caused by other factors.
I also want to be on as little meds as possible, so, my general inclination is to use the least I need. But this summer, with being in a relationship kicking up all my wonderful fun issues of fear of abandonment, and the stuff happening in New Orleans (which really infiltrated my sense of well being) I have had several rough patches. I don't live in New Orleans by the way, not even near it, but it shook me up in a big way.
I did get my period Friday and felt better after that.
I do want to go down from 15 lex to my usual dose of 10, because most of the time, I have been on 10 and was fine. My pdoc suggested going up to 15 during the first rough patch end of June, but I don't want to keep going up and up and up every time I have a rough patch.
Anyway, until I see pdoc next week, I am still on 15 Lex and 15 Remeron. Also, I am going to sign up for a basic yoga/relaxation class and stop watching the news.
thanks!
