Sad Panda,
I am wanting to take Remeron to help me sleep because of Nardil insomnia. I have an almost full container of 45mg Remeron recently leftover from my previous combo. Should I split it in half? I know I slept well through the night when I was taking Remeron. I am getting very good results with Nardil even if I have only taken it less than 4 weeks, except for the insomnia. If taking Remeron helps with my insomnia without it it sabotaging Nardil's effectiveness, then I will ask my new pdoc when I see him in 2 weeks for an rx to make it legit. What do ya think?

If Effexor fails me I would go to Parnate & I will be taking Remeron or possibly Doxepin or Nortriptyline with it.
