I have taken remeron purely for sleep. I would take a 15mg tab and break it into tiny pieces, yielding a dose of about 2mg to 5mg. That for me is plenty to knock me out and anti-anxiety too. Actually, a full 15mg dose would not knock me out as well, I would not sleep as well, and the next day was entirely stoned sluggish in a haze. Remeron's sedation truly is stronger at a lower dose because the antihistimine effect is proportionately stronger than the other effects at that dose. The tiny dose means a lot less carryover into the next day. I have tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and have noticed over the years that anything that stimulates norepinephrine worsens it. I noticed that at 7.5mg remeron the ear ringing picks up volume, but not below 7.5mg.
> Here's an interesting question for all Remeron users. I have the 30mg disolvable tabs. I never took the entire tablet, I would crush it and then lick a tiny tiny tiny piece...mmm, tastes like Orange. but I would take only about 2.5mg. They say that Remeron works best for sleep at lower doses, so would 2.5mg be stronger than an entire 15mg tab? Would 1mg be even stronger? You guys know what I mean? =O
