> Remeron at 15 mg is far more sedating than at 30 mg. In my local area, pdocs don't even use the 15 mg dose. You start right in at 30.
Thanks for the reassurance, Larry. My pdoc started me at 15, because I'm still taking Effexor. She wants me to gradually reduce the one (Effexor) while increasing the other (Remeron) because I can't be without a primary antidepressant. We tried that once, and I just go back to being nuts. Almost all my drug changes (and there have been a lot) are "overlaps."
The dose of Remeron she wants me on is 30mg, or maybe more, depending. The 15 mg dose is temprorary, but I haven't felt this dopey since my experience with Lithium.
Remeron must be a weird drug to have less side effects the more you take. That just doesn't seem logical.
