In reply to Maximum Remeron dosage??, posted by TomV on November 26, 2002, at 21:12:44
I don't know what the official U.S. prescribing info says but i've read 60 mg is often the max dose used in common clinical practice since 45 mg is often still too sedating.
In Europe, they use higher dosages of Remeron both now & when it went under clinical trials, & 60 mg is a common dose there, especially for males who metabolize the drug at a much faster rate (see prescribing info). I did better on it at 60 mg, & I bet b/c of the use of more reasonable (less sedating) doses that is why Remeron is popular in Europe but a very slow seller (~1.4% of market) in the U.S.
I was on Neurontin 900 mg/day at the same time so I can't tell you if 60 mg was better/less sedating than 45 of Remeron, but from one of those 2 drugs I could never get out of bed & had to switch to Celexa.
