Thanks Geno,
I also take 10 mg Ambien. Can't go a night without it, no matter how tired I think I am. The Remeron doesn't seem to induce sleep whatsoever, even when I was at lower doses. I'm going to be raising my dosage to around 65 cause I need something more than I'm getting with my Remeron/lithium/thyroid/female hormones/klonopin/ambien brew. Even with raising the dose 12mg last night I had the first vivid dream in a very long time and they're important to me. BCat> Barb, Iv been on remeron 30mg for over a year. Its a dream for me for sleep. I found when i raise it to 45m, i have a hard time falling asleep. This is due to more norepinephrine alpha2 firing. Maybe adding some ambien 10mg with 45mg of remeron will do the trick if you cant fall asleep at 45mg. The higher the dose, the more activating and better the antidepressant response. I may do this 45mg remeron/10mg ambien combo. my sleep is so disurbed, that i cannot go 1 night without remeron. When i wake up, its sorta sedating, but a cup of coffeee will boost me up. Depending on how bad your sleep disorder is.
