I had taken Remeron up to 90 mg before for over a month and so that was a failed trial. But I was having trouble sleeping lately and figured that popping a Remeron might alleviate some of my insomnia. So I took 45 mg last night. In the middle of the night I woke up with this huge sexual fantasy that I never would have gotten normally (normally I have no sex drive). Remeron is some powerful stuff....

I have a chance to participate in a clinical trial of remeron to combat SSRI induced sexual dysfunction. After reading some of the posts on this board, I have started to get nervous. I am on Prozac and Wellbutrin. What do you think?

Remeron is better than any sleeping pill for me.

I believe Remeron's most potent action is on the histamine-1 receptor.

Re: your chance to participate in a clinical trial of Remeron to combat SSRI induced sexual dysfunction, well, since you are on Prozac and Wellbutrin, both of which are supposed to be ACTIVATING, I would say go for it, since the P and W should counteract the drowsiness that is associated with Remeron.
