Dear optomistic,
Ill give you an example of what happened to me off remeron. Iv been on it for 1 yr. Besides the wieght gain, its great for my deep dark moods. BUT IT doesnt make me happy go lucky. So i decided to stop it. 3 days later, my sleep went down hill, became very very anxious, and my mood, i felt dread dark sorrow. I remember flipping out on the slightest thing. I felt like the world was coming to an end.I would say this. If someone suffereing from severe depressioon, anxiety and sleep disorder, DO NOT just stop remeron. I would say, get on an SSRI, along with ambien for sleep, and a benzo. Remeron is like an antidepressant, sleep aid, benzo like all in one. even though remeron doesnt bind gaba, it may not be good for extreme anxiety. But for sleep, its a dream. A great combo would be remeron/an ssri and a benzo. Im currently on
remeron 30mg
zoloft 50mg
klonopin 1mgIf you feel too sedated, adding desipramine may help, which boost norepinpehrine, without extreme anxeity
