extreme bloating and distension remeron withdrawal?

[Leahy]

REMERON Please if anyone else can help me with my situation -  I am NOT constipated from being on and have been tapering for 3 months.  I am so bloated and I look 7 months pregnant?  Does anyone have any information on this.
I AM SO BLOATED, ITS DISGUSTING!    I am taking a multivitamin with fish oil EVERY DAY and this seems to help me but the bloating is not going away??   It's very uncomfortable and does anyone know when this bloating should taper off a bit?  I AM EXERCISING AND EATING RIGHT but for some strange reason my belly is huge????  I find myself making funny breathing noises when I move around almost like i'm carrying something too heavy.  I am so FRUSTRATED.  Is anyone having this gross bloating in the belly area?  

I do feel like the head withdrawals are slowly tapering off a bit -  Less dizziness, less zapping, or sounds in the ears. BUT THE BLOATING IS KILLING ME!  

AM I GOING TO HAVE THIS FOR A LONG TIME?
Please help me.

Hey Leahy, not to worry, you did not sound like your adrenals were bothered, and besides, I think I had some adrenal problems to begin with and just guessed the Remeron threw me over the edge.  I don't remember going off the Remeron, as I said I have no recollection of my two months in the hospital.  When I got out, it was no on the list of drugs for me to take.  You can google the drug and at drug.com or rxlist.com and other medicine websites, they'll give you tips on getting off it.  And far as how I am, I was trying out my second adrenal medicine, and it made me so sick, they took me off it and are now bringing me down all the way off those meds by using hydrocortisone tapering in its place.

I hope this clears everything up for you, Leahy.  Let me know.  Gail

THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to answer me! I appreciate your advice so very much. What can I do to repair my adrenals? Is there anything? Were you able to get off the Remeron? I hope you are ok now.

Best, L

Hey Leahy, that Remeron ought to be taken off the market.  It put me in the hospital for two months with adrenal crisis, in and out of coma.  Three things can help you with your tummy bloating.  First, get some probiotics in you, either by eating yogurt that has live bacteria cultures in it or getting pills of it from the health food store.  Next, get into a walk regime, around your neighborhood, shouldn't be a big deal, but the rhythm and solace from walking will help you relax.  Then when you get home RELAX.  Take some time off to fix a little meal, watch a fav TV show, and lay on the couch for possibly a nap.  The less stress  you let build up in a day, the better off you'll be while going off Remeron.  That stuff goofs with your adrenals.  Hope this helps, keep me posted!
