Re: Remeron - It's Backwards!

Remeron is like Seroquel in that small doses tend to be very sedating, yet increases in the dosage result in decreased sedation.

15mg of Remeron was probably one of the very strongest and best sleep aids that I have ever taken. I couldn't stay at this dosage, as my Dr. was just titrating me up to my 60mg dose (to treat bipolar depression), which didn't make me sleepy at all.

Similarly, 25mg of Seroquel knocks me out like a sledgehammer but for a few years I was taking 400-600mg of the stuff during the daytime with very little sedation.

It's all very weird and counter-intuitive. By the way, I tried temazepam recently and that is now my favorite sleep med, bar none. I need 60mg of it to do anything, but I always sleep for exactly 8 hours and then wake up totally refreshed--just like clockwork, every single time. It's amazing. =)

Best of luck to you!
