I want off Remeron! Only been on for < 2 months

[[Ke...]]

So I started taking Remeron on 10/17/14, just around the same time I began my crossover and I just don't think it's working for me. I sleep fitfully and toll and turn between 3-5am. I've gone from 3.75mg up to 15mg and then went to 11.25mg for a week and now I'm at 7.5mg, been here for one week.

 

I'm thinking that since I've only been on it for a little under 2 months I can taper a little quicker, possibly go to 3.75mg then hold and stop?

 

What do you all suggest? I can't get the liquid as I live in the US and I have Trazodone to help with sleep....

 

Any suggestions?

 

Also, I'm at 6mg V am and 10mg V pm...

 

Thank you!

I agree with you that you can taper fairly fast and be OK....good luck.

I 2  took 22.5 mg/day for about 3 years.  I did a 2 week taper (15 mg for 7 days, 7.5 mg for 7 days, then off.)

 

I had no WD sxs at all.

Thank you to those who have replied. I'm on day 2 of 3.75mg Remeron and I must say, I feel better. I actually feel more rested - then again I did bump my Traz from 37.5mg to 75mg these past two nights just to cover my bases....

 

Thanks for the advice and I'll update when I cut the Remeron again....

 

Stuff is nasty! Yikes!
