> I take Remeron. I take it at night. 15 mg. It does make me sleepy, but I feel ok in the morning IF I get 8-9 hours sleep. If I get only 7 hours or less, I feel sleepy the next day. I have a deadline-oriented job where I have to focus and concentrate a lot, and I can do it fine with Remeron at night, as long as I get enough sleep.

>Hi...Saturn here.
May I ask if 15 mg is the dose that worked well for your depression...and without significant daytime sleepiness? Thanks for any input.
