Tora-chan
Are you more anxious or depressed or a combo? You may not need to go as high as 75. At one point I tried to raise my dose from 50 and it did not work well for me. For anxiety you may only need a low dose as the blood levels are more for depression improvement. I would see what a low dose does for anxiety and then go from there.
Since you seem to tolerate it at 25 that is very encouraging. Yes, for me too it took a while to help with sleep. I am happy you feel better. Go slow on the remeron wean. I was on it and it took quite some time to come off of it. It was harder than a benzo to come off of in the sleep department. I did take nor with remeron too.
I am not taking it right now. After 10 years it didn't seem to work anymore. However, that was after an illness and my doc wonders if it was because I became very sensitive to meds and all we should have done was lower doses :(
I think you feel better because of the lower remeron dose. It gave me "sponge brain" and going off felt very good. Fogginess was always a problem along with irritablity and anxiety on remeron. Good luck and keep us posted.
