Hi Mattias,

1. Dream-awake state, very similar to sensation of "sleep paralysis". No nightmares, just a 8 hour Technicolor dream that goes on and on. Frequent awakening in order to consciously "shift" to another dream or just sleep. Restlessness with arms and legs, danger to my husband with flailing arms/legs, constant talking in my sleep.

2. Extreme fatigue due to poor sleep quality and
I would imagine decreased seratonin levels?

3. Depressed mood with thoughts of suicide. Thoughts that pop up in my head for no apparent reason. The thoughts are not frightening, but very convincing that I am in the grips of an extreme depression. It takes me several hours to realize that it is the Effexor withdrawal. This is how believable the depressive state is.

I am also on Klonopin 1 mg. at night which I started at the same time as the Effexor in order to squelch the severe anxiety/panic I was experiencing due to "start-up" side effects. I am dependent on Klonopin, meaning that if I don't take it, I experience severe rebound/withdrawal.

How did Remeron help you? I have tried Wellbutrin for 30 days, but it makes me feel almost but not quite "scared". I do like the activation, makes me feel better than apathy, but caffiene makes me feel like I can't live within my own skin.

Will Remeron make me too dopey/sleepy? It is already difficult to clear my head from the Klonopin-induced AM fog.

Thank you, Mattias. :) anneL
