"after 4 long years of &quot;experimenting&quot; with lexapro, paxil and benzos on and off with my regular md, i decided to see a psychiatrist that&#039;s very popular in my city. i told him my symptoms and that i was also going through ativan tolerance withdrawal. he prescribed me remeron and agreed to wean me off the ativan properly. i don&#039;t know why my regular md didn&#039;t try this miracle medicine on me! grr!! this changed me overnight. it has stopped my nervous stomach and i&#039;m eating again. i sleep good too. a few side effects would be the flashing lights you see when you close your eyes the 1st night i took it, and restless legs and vivid dreams but those are slowly disappearing. this medicine has helped me drastically."
