Anxiety: Tapering off Lexapro and Ramelteon

After taking ramelteon 8 mg I sleep About seven hours, but when I wake up I’m real hot on my skin shaking and weak. This has been going on for few months. Help !

If it is a tablet can you cut in half?

Have you mentioned this to your doctor? Why do you feel the need to taper off? Is it due to side effects?

I was given ramelteoon in the hospital to sleep after colorectal surgery…
reaction was frightening.
When the nurse came into my room at 3 am and turned on the lights, it felt like my bed had flipped up and I was lying straight up perpendicular to the floor.
I don’t know if others who have taken ramelteon have
had this scary experience.

I started taking 30mg Remeron for Major Depressive Disorder and anxiety. I was told that 15mg will make you gain weight but the higher dose (30mg) will not. Has anyone else heard this or taken this medication? Any success in it working and if so , how long did it take?
Thank you

I take 8mg of ramelteon at night and sleep well, but when I weak up every morning sweating , shaking ,nervous and hot all over. I take my morning medicine 5mg of lexapro and .5 mg of clonazepam . No help nervous all day . HELP ! 83 year old female. This has been going on for months.

Hi, I wanted to reply so you know you are not alone. I am weaning off clonazepam and take sertraline and wellbutrin for depression. I also do telehealth therapy for anxiety. I also am in limbo. It stinks! Someone will answer who knows your med. Many of us are in the same boat.
