I'm very surprised to hear that some feel anxiety and other negative side-effects from Remeron-S.
I have tried several anti-depr. drugs and felt they really f*ck*d me up and that I wasn't myself.I have had sleepingproblems for years, (due to violent experiences) and was not able to sleep more than 3 hours in a row, waking up stressed out and unable to fall asleep again. A living hell!
Remeron changed my life! Finally I got 8-9 hours sleep at night -in a row! I'm able to function as a human being when I get the sleep that I need.
Saying that, if you feel tired, what time of day do you take it?
I do not believe you should take it at any other time than approx 30 min before bedtime. Some doctors have suggested splitting the dose day and night but I wouldn't do that. Would you take a sleeping pill before going to work? Of course not! I used to try diffent sleeping pills and everyone knows they can be very addictive and are not happily prescribed by dr's. I have completely stopped them (good thing) and feel I am a much more well-balansed person. Without feeling groggy the next morning!
If you take it at night and is tired the next day maybe your dose is too high for you?
I was at first subsribed 30mg, but that has changed to a dose of 45mg during summer and 60mg during winter or in case of depression.We're all different though with different chemicals in different amounts in our bodies so what works for me doesn't necessarily work for you.
Take care!
