In reply to HELP! Starting remeron tomorrow, what dosage?, posted by ravenstorm on April 8, 2004, at 22:15:07
I just came off a 6 month course of Remeron. I always figured that GAD was my real issue and Remeron didn't help much with that so I quit. I think it helps some people more then others. If anxiety isn't an issue then it might work good for you.
I ended up at 60mg, which is the max dose. I started at 15mg and didn't feel much better so they moved me up. I was at 45mg for most of the time. It does help with sleep, that's for sure. I felt groggy however and had a hard time getting out of bed at the higher doses.
It changes your metabolism and most people seem to put on weight, I did.
I would start at 7.5 if your depression is mild. Just getting the solid sleep might be a good start. I would slowly move up though, especially if weight is an issue.
