I've been taking Remeron for about 7 weeks. I started at 30mg for 3 weeks, then 37.5 for 2 weeks, 45 for a week, then back to 30 for 4 days. I reduced the dosage because of headaches. Other than that the side effects haven't been to bad. My appetite though ravenous for the first 4-5 weeks had stabalized. Also, the tiredness in the morning has leveled off as well. I feel "slightly" groggy on some days but it really hasn't been a problem. As far as treating my problem -- anxiety w/ some depression brought on by the anxiety, it has been about 80% effective. I g keep wsome clonipam around if I am having a bad day. The doctor has brought up the idea about supplimenting the Remeron with 10mg of Effexor or Celexa but I'm not ready to do that yet (concerned about side effects). My problem is a bit different from yours but I guess that side effects are the same regardless of your illness. I haven't really noticed a difference regarding the side effects (accept for the headaches) at the different dosages. Wish I could be of more help!
