> the grogginess should begin to lesson soon. are you on remeron for anxiety or depression or both? for depression at least, remeron takes anywhere from 2-6 weeks to kick in. oddly enough a higher dosage may make you less sleepy, as this is the effect it has on many people. i don't know why the xanax is making you feel more alert (is this simply more alert in a clear nonanxious way, or does it heighten your anxiety?) though if it is alertness as in clearness it may be because your anxiety was masking this clarity.
