A lot of people linked to this post have had success with remeron. At 15 mg a day, it worked lovely for sleep and when I increased it to 45 mg for depression, it really helped, but I got the most annoying myoclonus. Does anyone know why a serotonin boosting drug would give myoclonus. I never got it from taking wellbutrin SR 150 mg twice a day, which made me wonder if it had to do with a dopamine deficiency. One person suggested magnesium worked for them, but unfortunately it didn't for me. Valerian does work - but boy do I feel dopey the next day. I'm hesitant to ask my doctor for clonazapan - he would probably just take me off the remeron. ON one of the myoclonus web sites they mention 5-hydroxytryptophan. Anybody tried that?
Thanks
