> Any latest info on Remeron in small sub-therapeutic doses for treatment of insomnia?
It is one of several common non-addictive classes of medications used to treat sleep disorders, Remeron a class of its own, Trazodone another class of its own, and sometimes tricyclics such as Doxepin or Elavil.
The greater the dose, the more the weight gain and appetite increase in most cases.
At subtherapeutic doses, it is typically used still at 7.5mg and contributes somewhat to a better sleep structure. It can still cause weight gain, so something to watch out for.
Not everyone responds to the somnolence of a low dose of Remeron -- I did at one point but later on once a few weeks passed it became an antidepressant. Of course that was 15mg. So who knows. 15mg in the past would have still given me trippy dreams. But that's just a single case.
I wish you luck on it -- if you have serious insomnia, a sleep study is something worth looking into.
