In reply to Serzone too weak - Remeron may be *it*, posted by Squigglatrix on May 2, 2003, at 8:20:52
I would be very happy to compare notes with you, as I have just started using Remeron myself, ie, into it four days now.
My first two days were at 15mg/nite, and my second two days have been at 30mg/nite.
My doctor instructed me to raise my dosage immediately due to the heavy sedation that I had experienced at 15mg/nite.
I am now supposed to hold steady at 30mg/nite for 2-3 weeks.
I can report that today it seems that the sedation is starting to diminish somewhat, and also that the depression is starting to slightly diminish somewhat.
I also learned today that there is evidently some kind of significant treatment efficacy difference between using the Remeron SolTabs versus using the regular Remeron tabs; my doctor wants me to specifically use the SolTabs.
Previously I have been using Paxil on and off for 10 years, and I want to eliminate/replace the Paxil entirely. I have been using only low doses of the Paxil (avg. 5mg/day) because it has been too sedative for me. I have also tried other A-D's without success, as I am typically too intolerant of their side effects.
I am being treated for straight depression with some anxiety/OCD, and I am only using Remeron.
