> the grogginess should begin to lesson soon. are you on remeron for anxiety or depression or both? for depression at least, remeron takes anywhere from 2-6 weeks to kick in. oddly enough a higher dosage may make you less sleepy, as this is the effect it has on many people. i don't know why the xanax is making you feel more alert (is this simply more alert in a clear nonanxious way, or does it heighten your anxiety?) though if it is alertness as in clearness it may be because your anxiety was masking this clarity.

> juniperI appreciate your response. I am taking the remeron for anxiety and yes I was taking the xanax before but only on an as needed basis as little as possible. The xanax with the remeron makes me more alert in a calm not at all anxious way. I would love to have all the relief from the anxiety from the remeron as my doc has me scared of getting addicted to the xanax. I actually just spoke with him and he wants me to continue on the 15mg until my next appointment in 10 days. Maybe I just need to be on it a little longer as you suggested. Thanks again.
