In reply to Remeron question (3 Beers), posted by johnj on May 1, 2002, at 9:24:52
3 beers,
I take remeron at 30mg at night to get a good 8hrs sleep. With out it, my only other choice is ambien 10mg, then 10mg when i wake up again 4 hrs later. I may switch over to such.
Remeron does make me eat like a pig. It may be coutneracting some off zolofts anxiety or nausea effects. Im 2 weeks into zoloft 50mg, with .25 xanax. Im like level. No anxiety, no sedation, no mood improvement.
I want to up my zoloft dose, but my stupid pdoc is out of town, so i dont think .25mg of xanax will help with the upped dose. If could maybe dump the xanax, and take 1mg of klonopin in the am, then another 1mg in the pm, but my "side script of klonopin wont last. If i get my doc to back up the xanax to .5mg with 75mg of zoloft in the am, should be fine. Then six hours later when the xanax starts to wear off, take the other 1mg of klonopin. Then at 11pm, ill take the remeron.The other reason i like remeron and need it, is because like i said me sitting around at night, being bored and lonely, i take the g to socialize. when i stop the g at 10pm, the rebound dopamine sets in and remeron is very much needed for sleep. Like i said, i have ambien but only 30 10mg for the month, so 20mg a night wont last. So i have to remain on remeron until i could get my pdoc or a doc to give me more ambien or xanax.
I think with zoloft, at 75 or 100mg, the dopamine reuptake kicks in, causing the activating effect. Plus You stated your climax is improved which is what i need. I cant climax on zoloft or it takes forever. even on remeron it still hinders sex drive a bit at 30mg.
another plan is to up the remeron to 45mg with 10mg of ambien to fall asleep. then take 75mg of zoloft with .5mg of xanax in the morning, and 1mg of klonopin in the evening, thus dropping all g or alcohol. ANother example is at night, when i take remeron, for the first 30min, i feel sedated and bit more relaxed and social. then 45min later i feel really tired and fall asleep. I dream vividly all dam night! i may give zoloft another 5 days then monday up it to 75mg, my pdoc is back monday , ill call him and say im having panic attacts, please up the xanax dose.
