The itching started about a week after going off for me, pinkeetoz.
I’m on my 23rd day without any Remeron. I do still itch. I was taking 2 to 3 Benadryl a day to control it, but now I only need 1 or 2 a day. So it is somewhat better.
The first two weeks off the med was the hardest for me. Sleep trouble, panic. After 23 days I can say I don't feel any worse than I did while on the med. In some ways better. I also have had very few suicide fantasies in the last couple weeks. Whereas, I used to have frequent ones that would last a while.
I still get anxious about a lot of things, I get upset easy-just very bad about dealing with stress. But so what? I’m OK.
I am still being cautious, but I’m quite sure now that I will not be going back on this (or any other) junk med.
Bye for now. Take care, yall. There is hope.
