Bob,
I'll let you know. I'm slowly raising my dose of Rem from 45 on up, probably up to 65mg or more since I'm spiralling down into a depression again. Last night took 45 + 1/4 more, so what's that - 56.25. Woke up at 4am, but this time with a dream, the first in a long time. Fell back to sleep and woke feeling the usual strong urge to stay in bed and sleep, no different with the upped dose. However, did feel a lightening of spirits in general after finally waking up. Might be placebo, but I'm hoping I'm getting some response from the med even at this early stage. A big difference is an urge to get out and do something active, even if it's only watering the garden. I've been lately feeling anything to be a major struggle so this is encouraging. Just hope I don't put the weight back on.
