EveW Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi, I was wondering if any of you are taking Remeron. I wanted to know what dose you are taking, what your diagnosis is, and if you are taking other medications with it. Please no one talk about any negative experiences. Thank you!!

tryp Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I took it for about 6 months, at 30 and then at 45 mg. It was okay. Made me tired and hungry, but it helped with my anxiety a lot. Not so much the depression, so I moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I've taken it for years. It's the first med that ever really helped anything, and because of it I now have a normal sleep pattern, which I hadn't had before (even in childhood). Lots of people get tired and hungry from it, as Tryp did. I take it a half hour before I lay down, so I sleep through the above, lol. I do not feel "hungover" from it. -Lav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I have been taking it for over a year now, 15mg, I take it with risperdal and klonopin as needed. It used to work great for depression and anxiety, now it mainly helps with anxiety. And sleep. I sleep very well with Remeron. Oh, it also helps with the agitation/akathisia/whatever it is I get from risperdal and abilify, I can not take either one without the remeron or my anxiety gets worse and I cant sleep. The first 3 months I was on Remeron I was hungry and sleepy all the time and gained about 10-15 pounds, but that side effect went away, and so did the extra pounds. I like Remeron a lot, it is the only antidepressant I have tried that has not turned ugly on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exl2398 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I just started it like 1 week ago. I take 15mg, along with risperdal and lamictal. I have bipolar type 2, rapid cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netsavy006 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 It worked good for me for about 7 months. Then all of a sudden I got into a manic state. I was on 30mg of Remeron and they tapered me to 15 then to 7.5 to 0. Unfortunately that didn't stop the manic episode and I had to go into the hospital to get my meds adjusted to help quell the mania. It worked great for sleep when I was on it.
