No, its not too fast (unless your body tells you its too fast).

You said that Trazodone was being used as a sleep aid, and that it wasn't working. Do you really need to go through 10 weeks of slow withdrawal (with arguably worsening insomnia) only then to introduce remeron? Nonsense.

If you were getting off a drug "for good" (i.e. not replace it with a similar med), then yes there would be an argument for a longer withdrawal period.

As you reduce the med, perhaps keep a small journal (i.e. day, dose & observations). Sure, if you notice things are not going well, then slow down and perhaps book another appointment.

I would play it by ear, and listen. I think you can break the 50mg's in half and go slower, if needed. 50mg in one step might be a bit too much, but 25mg (say every 3 days) would be a bit smoother.


Just my 2 cents.
