>The key, I'm told, is to rapidly increase the dose (15mg every 3-4 days) over the first week. This usually eliminates these side effects. For most that's at 60mg, for some 75mg.
According to the prescribing information (and my psychiatrist) the effective dosage range for Remeron is 15-45mg. I'm sure some people need more but 75mg seems a bit high. YMMV
Somewhere around 30-45mg Remeron usually switches from being sedating to activating. People who have co-morbid anxiety, like me, will tend to react badly to higher doses.
Everybody feel better,
