LL,

I think it's the rebound effect of not taking the klonopin. Although everyone is different, I have never heard of remeron having the opposite effect ie, stimulating your nervous system.I think it's your receptors screaming out FEED ME...FEED ME KLONOPIN... and when you don't feed the monster he takes it out on you by not allowing you to sleep well.I know on my own taper, my sleep has deteriorated. I generally go to sleep anywhere from 11 - 11:30 and then bingo up at 4 like clockwork.Sometimes I can fall back asleep till around 6 sometimes not.When i was on 30 mg of Dalmane, I could sleep right thru till 6:30.

I have read enough posts elsewhere to believe that my sleep over the next several months will return. It's just a slow healing process until your brain readjusts to med free sleep.LL, do you know what precipitated your insomnia in the first place ?
