ITs NOT all in your head... you know your body better than anyone.. you are in it 24/7 how could you not..
Yes they tell yu the drug is out of the body in 2 weeks... what they DONT tell you is that the BIOCHEMISTRY has been altered and THAT is what the w/d is and takes time..
I dont see how they can say 2 weeks ,when they tell uyou when you go on it that it takes SEVERAL weeks to build a titer in the first place..
Also women metabolize Remeron much slower than men. I researched and found out that it takes 37hrs to reach half life.. and thats HALF life(for women).. and only 26 hrs (about) for Men. so when you think about it.. 1/2 of 1/2 in 37hrs. then that half has got to break down... etc.and remember when you are on the drug you are constantly BUILDING It in the bloodstream So for example say you were taking 30mg.. well in 37hrs if you didnt take anymore drug , there would be 15mg left in the blood .. BUT if you are taking the pills everyday... then 15 would be left and then after 24hrs you would take another 30mg right(next dosage)... therefore you would have the 15mg still and the new 30mg.. so my point being it keeps building in the system.. so when the docs rx. 30mg ,,, really ITS not what is ACTUALLY inthe body after weeks and weeks..
I hope this isnt too confusing.. but to me this is very scary..
Anyways keep going slowly off ... takes timeMusky
