I think you should be able to do that. I am on Serzone now and have not yet gotten off of it so don't know if I will have to be weaned off. You might ask your doctor.

> What dosage do you recommend?
I was on Remeron for more than 2 years and was started at 15mg, moving to 30 and 45. I found more sedation with a higher dose.>
> Whats the latest on the weight gain issue? Is it possible to avoid?
I gained weight with Remeron buut was able to halt the gain by modifying my diet and exercising more, but I was able to lose weight when I started on Wellbutrin. The most weight came off when I dropped Remeron altogether and kept on the Wellbutrin. We added Serzone to the Wellbutrin more than 8 months ago and have not found a weight problem.
