> ... side effect of Remeron ? since I started Remeron it seems like I have nothing in my head (which is true for other respects ;-) I'm taking just 15 mg per night and it knocked me out ... I can't get up before ten or eleven hours of sleeping but I hope the oversleeping will finish when I'll switch to 30mg ... anyway, thanks everybody and keep posting ...
The long sleep periods went away after 2-3 weeks for me, I now awake after about 8 hours feeling pretty good! It makes a nice change after decades of having trouble getting to sleep/having trouble waking up/feeling like death every morning.
After taking my dose at night I can sense my IQ dropping & I start to get sleepy & then I got to bed. Another side effect is slight dry mouth & slight slowing of the bowels.
I month ago I was stuck at 150mg of Efexor & 15mg of Remeron, If I raised the Efexor I felt too nauseated & agitated or if I raised the Remeron it caused alot of iritabililty so I thought I was at a deadend. I then learned that Remeron blocks 5-HT3 which is supposed to reduce nausea so after Christmas & New Year was over with I upped the dose on both at the same time & seem to have no problem doing it whatsoever. I believe Remeron reverses alot of the side effects of Efexor and probably with the SSRI's too + gives good sleep. 225mg of Efexor seems to be slightly activating which is what I hoped for, actually started doing stuff without procrastinating for days. :)
Cheers,
Panda.
