Hi MMatur! I also just began taking Remeron. I have Generalized Anxiety that was brought on by some initial Panic attacks started by Paxil that was pescribed for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. This happened to me once before about 7 years ago (though there was no Paxil involved). I kicked it then without the use of meds other than Xanax for a short time. This time though I thought that I would try something less addictive so that if it works I would know that I can fall back on it if this comes back again (I haven't kicked it yet this time though so I guess I'm being optimistic). The first week that I was on Remeron (30mg) the groggyness was pretty bad. The second week (I've been on it for just 14 days) the groggyness is better though I'm hoping for more improvement. I dream every night which I think attributes to some of my tiredness. Other than that the side effects haven't been to bad. My appetite has improved (I wasn't sleeping or eating very well after the anxiety started and before the Remeron). I am also taking Xanax on a as-needed basis (I haven't had any in the last 5 days). My anxiety seems to be lessening though the depression resulting from this latest bout of anxiety seems to resurface from time to time so I'm hoping that that goes away as well. So far I have tolerated the medicine pretty well and I am ultra sensitive to medicines. If a med lists a side effect I usually get it. One thing I almost forgot...I seem to have some lingering anxiety in my legs, kind of like a restlessness. -- wierd. Anyway I hope this helps. Keep me updated on your progress.
