After discussion with my pdoc, I will be coming off of Remeron. I have only been on it since January, and was originally put on it for sleep and nausea. I ramped up over January to 45mg, but then dropped back down to 30mg in February because I so agitated at the 45mg dose. 30mg still left me agitated and with a lot of anticipatory anxiety (which had never really been a problem for me before). My pdoc then had me go down to 15mg, which is where I have been since about the end of February.
The Remeron doesn't really seem to be doing much of anything for (although I did have a slight boost the first couple of weeks I was on it, which then turned to horrid agitation).
I reduced the 15mg to 7.5mg last night and will stay at 7.5mg for a week, I think, before stopping it completely.
So, my question is what can I expect in terms of withdrawal symptoms, if any, and how long do they usually last?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
