withdrawal question

Has anyone ever felt like their blood levels get messed up during withdrawal, i feel like i have diabetes some times i feel so out of it, my head feels like im in total space , legs and body feel week, just feel really weird. its hard to explain, but its now happening that on lower dose of remeron, 110 grams to be exact, have been doing 10% drops every month, but i just cant seem to get past the withdrawals this time

Re: withdrawal question

Yes, when I first started wd I made my friend take me to the hospital because I thought that I had diabetes. I definitely have the week muscles, spacy head symptoms that you are referring to. I am also very tired. I got my blood levels checked and everything came out normal though.

I think these are common wd symptoms and hopefully they will go away.

Re: withdrawal question

Feeling that way was one of the reasons I started my taper, no strength, tierd all the time and totally spaced. Even after just the first drop my head has noticably cleared.

Re: withdrawal question

Maybe try to snack something other than sugar every couple of hours? It has helped me...
