> 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?

>I would split it. Remeron has two actions that contribute to sleep. First is histamine blockade, this causes the sedation feeling, second is 5-HT2A blockade, this causes an increase in deep sleep & helps keep you asleep. For me, 15mg to 30mg is the range for sleep, YMMW, but 15mg forces me to sleep for 8 hours, 30mg forces me to sleep for 9.
Cheers,
