>Women may be able to tolerate lower dosages of Remeron than men because the half life of Remeron in women is a much longer 37 hours versus 26 hours in males. But in general the lower the dose of Remeron the greater the somnolence/sedation/hypersomnia.

Hi Ruth,

I took 30 mg and although I needed slightly more sleep than normal, I wasn't sleeping 12 hours a day or anything. I didn't have daytime sleepiness and I wasn't a zombie. But some people are in fact too sedated at 30 mg. It's just an individual thing.
