I am withdrawing from remeron which people say doesn't typically cause withdrawl but I am certainly expereicing it. Its just the insomnia that I don't like no sleep in the last 3 days at all. Cant sleep, feel sick, and depressed but not much more than usual. I wasn't a great sleeper before tapering the remeron but this is beyond a joke.
