    Ugh, so frustrating! As someone who has been on her share of ADs & related meds over the years (nothing at the time of T onset though), my advice would be to wean off very, very slowly to minimize the impact on your body, give it time to adjust.

    Sincerely hope you find something else that helps! You're already taking magnesium & melatonin, right?

    Thank you @MadeleineHope ! I’ve been taking 3.75mg for sleep for 6 months (1/4 of a 15mg tablet) I had no issues with this until I tried increasing to 7.5 3 months ago which gave me the vibrating ear/head stuff, so then I went back down to 3.75 and it went away and I stayed at that amount. Don’t know what else could be causing it. At least already very low dose, hopefully no crazy withdrawal.

    @MadeleineHope the irony is about 2-3 weeks ago or so I would think to myself “I am pretty tired at night even before the Remeron, I bet I could wean off and still sleep okay with my natural supplement line up”, so that will be my plan moving forward.

    This was my timeline of med involvement: last dose of Flexeril (muscle relaxer) on 23rd after 6 days on it between 15-20mg. I stopped because it was more giving me spike, weird ear issues and not helping. Started small increase of Ativan in AM on 24th (.25mg in AM and PM instead of just .25 in PM). Vibrations laying down at night seemed to appear 3-4 days as later. Did not change Remeron.

    I’ve no words of wisdom - I just really hope it subsides for you. I haven’t taken any sleep medication I’m just so afraid to.
