I am on 15mg of Remeron which was reduced from 30mg 2weeks ago. It helped with severe anxiety and insomnia that I developed following surgery on my cervical spine (neck). Last night I thought I would just stop taking it because it is nearly impossible to wake up. I also have gained weight and my cholesterol in increased 60 points to 241 after being on it for 11 weeks. It was a big mistake to not take my dose. I developed severe anxiety and the runs by 12:30am, then took my 15mgs. I slept but woke up with anxiety, cramps, and head that spongebrain feeling with pressure in my head all day. I have been reading all of these blogs and it does help to know I am not alone. I'm looking for advice and support because I will be starting back to work soon and I'm wondering how any of you are able to wake up and be functional with all of these side effects/withdrwal symptoms. I'd also like to know if anyone has found relief for anxiety and/or insomnia with any specific naturopathic remedies? I wish all of you the best of luck with coming off of this stuff. I have found that prayer has helped.
Best Wishes!
