thanks for your post -- it definitely got me thinking. what you (and your homeopath and acupuncturist) say makes a lot of sense, especially now that i am on such a low dose, and about to quit.
i remember when i first asked my pharmacist to cut the 30mg pills in 4 parts, and he told me "this is an homeopathic dose! you won't get any benefits, or feel anything really". it made me feel wrongly confident about how easy it would be to stop the medication, but i soon realized i was dealing with a pharmacist who was clueless about remeron.
i have a very kind and patient doctor, but i sometimes feel that he isn't entirely aware of how remeron can affect a person, even at low-dose, and that quitting isn't as easy as he says it is. after months and months of heavy sleep, the kind of which i've never had in my life, it is quite the lifestyle change to go back to my natural, light-sleeping ways (not to mention my natural, light-eating ways!) so i need to listen to my body, trust myself and my own will, instead of feeling weird that i'm having not so good of a time, when my doc says it should be as easy as 1-2-3. all the posts on here helps a lot - and good luck on your journey, too.
