> Should I just stop taking the drugs?!?!? I was diagnosed with post tramaic stress disorder, on ssd, before the cancer. I think the medications are making me more depressed because "have interest in 'nothing'"

> Thanks!Hi there, I found that the sedating effects of Remeron have subsided the longer I've been on it (about 3 months now). My dosage is 30mg. I'm still kind of stupified-feeling in the morning, but I'm getting by with less sleep than when I first started the med.
It was a real pain in the behind, but my doctor asked me to do a daily mood chart to help track how I was doing. This also helped me see the slow but gradual progress that I felt since starting Remeron.The stuff just packs such a wallop when you first start on it, though.
Good luck,
