I was on Remeron for 6 months titrated to 60 mgs, and I still take it occassionally for sleep. It did nothing for me. I even added Wellbutrin and that did nothing either. I eventually went on Lexapro and I am doing great, except for the the sexual side effects. I went off the Remeron almost cold turkey and felt no change whatsoever. As far as I could tell, all Remeron did was make me tired and hungry.
Its funny how some things work for some people and do absolutely nothing at all for others. I really wish Remeron worked for me, because there were no sexual side effects. Guess you can't have it all though!

> I'm sure a lot of drugs work well, given half the chance. Remeron is very sedating but with a stimulating SSRI, i bet it's very good. I wonder if part of the problem of using psychiatric drugs isn't that not enough time is taken to adjust dose, combination with other drugs, readjustment, patience, feedback, use of feedback as information, and time. Serial drug use, one after the other according to monograph average dose, without adequate monitoring, may just backfire on *every* drug. It's very much like cooking, but exasperating for a time-pressured practitioner, unfortunately.
