Hi,
I have been on Remeron for six months, but I just don't seem to get enough sleep.
So I have returned to Elavil, which is a "dirty drug" that I hate.Now I have come up with the idea of a Remeron-Seroquel combo.
I will take 30-45 mg of Remeron in the evening as before.
Then I'm going to add 25 mg of Seroquel.The question is whether these two drugs in conjunction will knock me out in the morning.
This combo could be perfect for anxiety-related insomnia.
I would like to hear from anyone who has an opinion on this matter.Best regards,
X-ray

Well guess I have some wierd chemical make-up as once in the hospital was given l5 remeron and total 50seroquel on top of choral hydrate, valium, xanax and still only slept for four hours. Now the opposite benzos make me tired. So for me it wouldn't work. But I'm sure for a lot of others it would. Phillipa

Hi XR,
Well you might give it a try. In my experience it might work. But 25 mg of Seroquel isn't very much. And I find the body get's used to Seroquel pretty quickly, so you'll probably have to up the dose pretty soon...
It's probably a perfect recipe for getting fat (if that's not your problem, no worries!).
Take care,

Well, I took the 30mg of Remeron with up to 200mg of Seroquel, and it allowed me fairly decent sleep w/o any latent sleepieness the day after. I agree with the one follow-up though- it WILL make you fat! But, I decides recently that I'd rather be a bit fat than so anxious that I could hardly breathe! I am not taking any more Seroquel, but HAVE returned to my 30mg of Remeron at night.
