No, I don't have increased agitation...just feel normal. However, I'm kind of natural high energy (when I'm not depressed) person. My doctor said that many can feel anxious or wired at 45mg or above. I just feel good and happy.
For me, personally, I am falling asleep and crying if I only take 30 mg. However, that's just my body chemistry. As a nice side note, my pdoc said that weight gain tends to be less at 30mg and above.
Oh, I do grind my teeth at night with my current dose (and have no way of knowing if I would at lower doses...but I might), but I wear a mouth guard and it's no big deal. I was embarrassed at first, but taking another medication to reduce that effect (I forget the name) made me feel headachey and yucky. My boyfriend is really cool about reminding me to put it in at night...it's a small price to pay for feeling so great.
Good luck with Remeron. You may find that a lower dose works right for you. (My sister, coincidentally, takes 45 mg too and feels sleepy and not as good on 30 mg. Must be a family chemistry thing).
Take care.
