Hi All
I'm on Remeron for sleep. Difficult to get the dose right. Been on 7.5 mg (1/2 tab.) for the past nine nights. Before that I experimented a bit. 3.75 (approx. with pill cutter) gave me a hangover the next day. First time 7.5 mg I felt brilliant the next day; although I was awake at 3 am I went back to sleep intermittently till about 6.30 am. Thats it with me on 7.5 mg I sleep till 3 then intermittently until about 6.30 am. Only once have I slept right through the night. Tried 15 mg one night but again slept till 3 and then not much afterwards. Went back to 7.5 mg.
HELP! Can anyone tell me what to do? Should I take more or less? Should I persevere with the 15 mg? Should I shave a bit off the 7.5 mg? I want to get a decent night's sleep ie a solid +/- 7 hours. I'm usually asleep by 11/11.30 pm.
Should I be trying something else? If so, what?
I think tonight I will try shaving a just a bit off the 7.5 mg. Previously the 7.5 mg has worked best for me the next night after I had taken a 3.75 mg. So it seems to me that I am taking just a tad too much. Hopefully a shaved off 7.5 mg will not give me a hangover.
Thats it! Live dangerously LOL. I will shave the 7.5 mg and tell you all tomorrow how it went.
