In reply to Remeron how long does it take to work on anxiety, posted by May on August 19, 2001, at 8:54:46
> Can anyone who has used remeron tell how long it takes to work on anxiety and at what dose?
Hi May~
I started Remeron at 15, moved to 30mgs. within 3-4 days, and felt anxiety relief within 10 days or less. I was asleep within 30 minutes after dosing and found it to be the most restful, restorative sleep I have ever experienced. I slept 7-8 hours, and felt no daytime grogginess.I used it for 5-6 weeks, but stopped due to the preoccupation with food it caused me. Don't remember how much I gained, but I was like a cow, constantly 'grazing'.
It did not help my depression either, & that is why I was trying it. But, it was very effective for anxiety, and at that time, I did not realize just how anxious I was.I now (about a year later) have a more pronounced anxiety problem, and I am not sure how to treat it. Just quit Zoloft, after 3 months. At 100mgs. it made me feel more anxiety, and never touched the depression.
What meds have you tried previously for anxiety? Is depression a factor in your condition? Have you already begun the Remeron?
Sincerely~Zannah
