In reply to has remeron worsened insomnia?, posted by insomnia mike on June 18, 2001, at 5:47:40
Like I told the previous person, I took Benadryl for Restless Legs Syndrome and it helped (50 mg). Benadryl is a mild hypnotic, so it should help you sleep too.
> hi!
> i started taking remeron for severe depression/burnout syndrome 5 weeks ago. the first week i took 15 mg, and started sleeping better. them i increased the dosade to 30 mg. after two weeks i had a couple of great days, sleeping well, feeling neither depressed or filled with anxiety or restlessness. then i got worse for a few days, then good again for a duration of 5 days. but since the end of the third week of medication, my sleeping probpems have returned, and i also now suffer from a restless legs. the depression symptoms have decreased, but are still a problem.
> last night i tried to split up the dosage by taking 15 mg at 6 p.m, and the rest at 9.pm. this actually releived me from the restless legs, and made me feel calmer.
> unfortunately it did not relieve me from insomnia.
> ar there other people out there that notice problems with sleep despite taking remeron, and have you found any way to get around this problem?
> i'm taking flunitrazepam for my sleep, and it's helping somewhat.
> thankful for any advice,
> mike
