In reply to Remeron vs Ambien ...i have both, try which first?, posted by kid_A on June 20, 2001, at 12:54:14
I've never tried Ambien, but Remeron put me right out (and a bit into the next day as well). Remeron may also counter the anorgasmia you might be experiencing on Effexor.
In the end I didn't like Remeron as an antidepressant because it left me sedated in the daytime, and...well, I just didn't respond to it very well. As always, YMMV. For some people the daytime grogginess goes away after a week or so on the drug.

P.S. - Also, watch your appetite on that stuff.. :)> I was given some remeron samples as well as a small script of ambien for insomnia... I've also been taking effexor xr 37.5 for a little over a week and a half now (I'm going out of the country so I'm staying on 37.5 per day until I get back)...
