In reply to Need MORE Remeron Information Please!, posted by hopko on April 13, 2001, at 8:29:50
I gotta say that at doses up to 30mgs it kicked me in the ass at night. My biggest problem with it is that it's a strong appitite stimulant. I couldn't help eating and gained 30 lbs in a couple of months. Watch the scale on that stuff. I was taking it along with wellbutrin SR to counter the sleep problems I was having from wellbutrin.
> 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?
