> I was on the remeron/effexor combo about two yrs. ago & I couldn't stand the effexor. It gave me insomnia also & I was taking 15mg. remeron. I am still on remeron & at first I was very sleepy but it goes away as your body gets used to it. I would say effexor is causing your problem. I am now on lexapro & remeron. This combo is working for me. Hope this helps.

Hi Zena,My new pdoc just put me on Lexapro and Remeron. I'm supposed to start with 5mg of Lex (and go to 10) in the morning and then take 30mg of Remeron at night. This is supposed to treat my severe anxiety and depression. I'm also supposed to continue Klonopin until the Lex and Rem kick in. Can you tell me the dosages you are on? Did you start the Lex first and then add the Remeron? Or both at once? How long before you got some relief from the anxiety? Did you have side effects from the Remeron? I want desperately not to have to take Klonopin anymore and to hear that ou are doing well on Lex and Remeron gives me hope it may work for me.
Thanks, Marsha
