My doc increased my dosage from 45 to 60mg at my
suggestion because I was stilling having mild
nausea which I thought might be some anxiety
coming through. I can't say for sure if it has
helped because it has only been a couple of days,
but there is no nausea today. I'm hopeful that
was the problem.Even at 15mg the day I started I got a good night's
sleep finally after waking up weeks of waking up
in the middle of the night anxious for no reason
in particular. The dosage was increased over time
through 30 and 45 to deal with mild depression.
I'm not sure it had any affect. Nothing got worse,
but I'm not sure anything got better either.Even before I started the Remeron, though, I had
changed all my eating habits from junk food to health
food. I also started the Zone diet as a healthy
maintenance diet. I find that matching the protein
with carbs stops the craving for candy, etc. Plus,
I started working out every day...aerobics one day,
weight training the next. Half an hour of the workout
plus some 5-15 minutes of walking. At present I
have more energy than I know what to do with since
my favorite hobby is reading.Oh, and I try to keep my fiber intake to 25-35 grams
a day...fruits and vegetables and whole grains, etc.
If I think a meal was too light on fiber I take
part of a teaspoon of Yerba Prima Colon Care which
is mainly phyllium husks with some bran.Hope some of this helps.
