In reply to Remeron for insomnia... overkill..., posted by kid_A on July 24, 2001, at 11:20:31
> I know it says that you shouldnt split the SolTab but I'm thinking of taking a razorblade and carving one in too, maybe that will prevent me from oversleeping an hour like I did this morning... I just -couldnt- get out of bed....I took Remeron for a long time as a sleep aid. I would use a sharp knife to cut the 15mg pill into halves. I could never get exact sizes, but that doesn't matter. Anything close to 7.5mg is good enough. Sometimes I even took little chunks as small as 2.5mg or 5.0mg and it worked great for sleep. With these lower doses, there was no daytime sedation the next day. I always did wake up with that fuzzy hangover kind of feeling, but it always disappeared by the time I went for my second cup of coffee.
I just wanted to let you know from personal experience that you can indeed take smaller doses of Remeron. Just break the pill with a hammer and take custom sized chunks, or use a knife to cut it in halves, thirds, or quarters.
