> Hello Tired of Panic and Life. I just thought I'd say hi. I haven't been on here in an obviously incredibly long time. I'm still very much off the Remeron and it's been just over 10 months now. I've gone through some pretty rough times to get here and that's pretty much why I haven't been on here. At first it was mostly Depression and severe anxiety from the withdrawal. To tell you all, I've found from several really good and reputable sources that it really does take between 18 months to 2 years to get totally rid of the withdrawal symptoms. And I've learned that it really takes some great sacrifice and patience in order to alleviate these symptoms. I'm very glad to see that you two are still on this site and I'm very, very curious to hear how you've been doing. In addition if you or anyone else have any questions about what I've been through or what I've done to alleviate the bad thoughts, etc while I'm still "drying" out (lol), I'd be more than happy to embellish. I'm still having problems, but, finally my mind is 100 percent as sharp as it was before I went on AD's over 11 years ago. I'm hoping to hear from you soon.

> JimHi. I'm sorry to hear you are still having problems and the thought of 18- 24 months of withdrawal sounds unbearable. I am very interested in knowing how you handled it and how long you were on it. Did your cholesterol level sky rocket and was there any change in that or your weight since you've been "dry" lol. How did you taper and did you get chest pain and palpitations with the anxiety? I want to be off this stuff ASAP but I was sick as a dog after just taking a dose 4 hours late, digestive issues, palpitations, sweating, dead-head feeling and insomnia! Any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated. You are like a hero to me that you have been "clean" for 10 months. Did you take anything else? I really don't want to substitute or suplement meds. Is this possible? Do you work? God Bless you if you've managed to keep a job through all this! Thanks for your response!
