Ron,
I'm no expert on this. I went to a sleep lab complaining of insomnia three years ago this month and was diagnosed with depression. I took Remeron for more than 2 years. It was a godsend in helping me sleep. I have read that some people find a small dose of Remeron helps them sleep at night. I never took less than 15 mg, and was at 30-45 for most of the time I was on it.
I was taken off the Rem in October and now am taking Neurontin in the morning (200mg) and at night to help me sleep (800mg). The Neurontin helps me fall asleep, but not nearly as fast (or hard) as Remeron. However, I don't have the fog in the morning. I usually sleep through the night, or if I wake up, I can fall back asleep, but I often wake up too early and cannot fall back asleep (5 a.m.) I'm also taking Wellbutrin.
Hope this helps.
Allison
