My head tension was terrible too along with headaches and pounding chest.I got off it [finally] about a month ago. I also had constant nausea, insomnia, headache and anxiety. [I also went from 15 mg for 2 years to 7.5 for a week or two to none].
The good news is, I started to feel better after about 3 and 1/2 weeks, and feel so much better now. Hang in there. It takes the brain and body a while to adjust. I lost 5 pounds almost immediately of the 8 I gained while on Remeron.
Looking back now, I feel so much better off it than I did while on it. I was sluggish and slow-brained [bad traits for a trial lawyer.]
So, just hang in there. It'll pass. :-)
