In reply to help,oxycontin and remeron........, posted by mike19 on July 28, 2000, at 12:06:49
Mike,
I can't help with the remeron, since AD's are forbidden for me, but until recently, I have always been somewhat of an opiate queen. I'm guessing you're self-medicating your depression, but it's probably making everything worse? What worked for me was trusting my psychiarist enough to tell the truth, believe me they've heard it many times before, and we did a slow taper- about 10%/every 4 days to a week with lots of supportive therapy. The physical problems were minimal- some GI. The insomnia and anxiety were probably due more to my (then) depression. It's really worth it though, you'll feel very much mentally clearer w/o the oxycontin and may find your depression goes away. Best of luck- Judy
