Hmmm. Interesting. Didn't know that about Remeron.

But often I'm so hyper in the late evening that I forget to (or don't want to) take my sleeping pills.I tried Wellbutrin. Insomnia was one of the side-effects I had with it. It also made me very irritable which is why I discontinued it.

Good luck to you in finding what works.
