> Karen,
> Do you take remeron by itself for anxiety?? Did it knock you out the first couple of days you took it. I think I tried it once and I couldn't stay awake. Just curious cause I have anxiety too and looking for some help.

Hi Crystal,

I am taking remeron mostly for it's anxiety properties. I also have depression,
but my anxiety is my primary problem, I get risidual depression from the anxiety.
I used to be on 50 mgs zoloft, but that wasn't helping with the anxiety at all,
I tried BuSpar, that didn't help, and now I'm just starting Remeron.
I only take 7.5 mgs/day and it's unbelievable how much better I feel. The
First day I took it, I was knocked out cold for about 24 hours, even such
a tiny dose as the one I took. I do not have any trouble with the typical
side-effects of daytime sleepiness or increased appetite. I have noticed a change
in my metabolism, that doesn't make me happy, because now I feel anxiety over
weight gain. I'm trying to be good and have a better diet. I am
trying to eat less and see how it goes. If i continue to gain weight, I can't
say I'll stay on this stuff. It's unfortunate, because it *really* helped with the
tightness in my chest. How long did you try it for? The doc says you should
wait 2-4 weeks for side-effects to balance out.

Hope that helps,
Karen
