That's a tough call. But I would wait at least a week or more at 30mg before you bump up. I'm sure the sedation is unbearable right now since you just started. But you'll have to take my word for it that it gets better -- a lot better over the first 1-2 weeks. Actually, I really find that the overall adaption to the histamine activity actually takes months. It seems that the people that get past the first two months end up really liking remeron in the long run. My optimal range was probably somewhere between 45 and 60mg. But you'll have to take it at least a week and a half to find out if you should be moving up to the next level. As you'll go up, you'll notice a lot more activation. At first, it's sort of an aggravating/uncomfortable feeling, but after a couple of days, this subsides. If it doesn't then you're probably better at the lower dose you were at.
