> fbI forgot the dose of Remeron but may have started at 15 and gone up to 30 if that sounds like a proper dose.I took it for a year and it really worked on depression and anxiety, not to mention how wonderful it was for sleep. But the weight gain was crazy although my mom took it and didn't gain weight on it... Go figure.
Xanax I only used it as needed so for about a month it was pretty much every day. Then I began to taper off and went completely off it without any problems. I now, for about two years, have been taking klonopin for sleep.
I'm on 9mg on the patch and so far so good-not perfect-but well worth it.Good luck
