In reply to Re: Remeron vs Ambien ...i have both, try which first?, posted by pellmell on June 20, 2001, at 14:34:27
I asked my pdoc and he refused remeron *unless I really wanted to try it*. He said *every* patient he has had on it gained *lots* of weight. He continues to write scripts for ambien, which I take nightly at low dose (3-5 mg; I break the tablets).
I really like the ambien -- practically no side effects. It is supposedly non-addictive, but I agree with another poster -- being related to the benzodiazepines, it is probably at least weakly addictive. Just keep the dose as low as possible and skip taking it on an occasional night.
