I started on Remeron at the begining of this year. Here is my experience. Two hours after my first dose I felt very sedated ..then slept for 12 hours. The following day I felt like a zombie. I continued and after a week the sedation no longer was a problem as it went away. I also realised my depression was going away. So soon ? I couldn't believe it. I felt more motivated, slept better, and my mood was on a high. However...it also gives you an enormous appetite (especially for sweet things)...and the weight soon piled on...I gained an extra 10 pounds in two months.
So be careful with the food intake. But that is easily rectified...eat lots of fruit and work out. Believe me once your mood is lifted you have the motivation to do it. I am now down to my normaal weight and have never felt better. I continue on 30 MG daily. If you are a male..then there is also good news here too!! Your libido is fine and there is absolutely no ejeculatory delay that I used to experience on the SSRI's.
