Well, I have read from others on other boards that remeron has really changed their lives and don't consider it a weak AD at all.
I was housebound and suicidal over the winter months and after four weeks on remeron feel almost totally back to the old me and I'm only on 15mg. I didn't feel substantially better until I reached the four week mark so I would really encourage you to give the drug a fair trial of six to eight weeks. If you do and decide it isn't the drug for you, at least you'll really know it wasn't for youu instead of quitting before you can even know if it will work for you. There is no way after a few days or sometimes even a few weeks that you can tell if an AD will work for you. Unfortunately, usually the first weeks are nothing but side effects.. .the relief comes later. I know it sucks, but its true.
Hang in there. I sounded just like you a few weeks ago.
