> I have been on remeron at 15mgs for a week now. At first it seemed to help me sleep, (although not great, but better than my previous insomnia). Last night I barely got 4 hours. I was very tired when I took the remeron but afterwards could not fall asleep. Finally had to take a sonata to get any sleep at all. Could remeron be keeping me awake? And would this show up after a week of taking it?

> I know the higher doses are usually not as sedating but I wonder if I am one of those people that might react differently to this med. (I usually do have strange reactions to meds!)

> I am thinking of increasing my dose to 30mg to see what happens. Has anyone else had a similar experience or does anyone have any other advice?

> Thanks much in advance.I started on remeron a few months ago. I started at 7.5 mgs for four weeks. Only the very first day was sedating,
though I thought I was sleeping better. My anxiety was still bad, so I sent up to 15mgs for a week. I didn't see
any change, and increased to 30mgs. IT's been a week now at that dose. I am *very* tired, however, I am not
sleeping well at all. I wake up many times during the night. Supposedly the sedative effects of remeron are at
their peak at 15mgs, but I feel more tired, but don't seem to be sleeping as well on 30mgs.karenR
