Thanks for the responses LyndaK and J-lo.
May I ask what dosages you are both on? (I'm sure it is in past posts--but you know how depression is--hard to concentrate on anything very long!)
I went to the pdoc today and he said I could either up my dosage to 30mg now (I've been on it almost two weeks) or wait another two to three weeks and see how the 15mg works out.
My day time energy is just fine on 15mg, but I do have extreme dry mouth (don't really care about that) and blood sugar problems (do care about this!)
He doesn't care what I do either way and really doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable about this drug.
Tomorrow I will try to read more old posts and decide what to do. I'm leaning towards just staying at 15mg for a full four to six weeks and then upping it to 30mg if I don't get good results. (But then I worry--what if the 30mgs is what I need and I "waste" those weeks waiting--ain't anxiety grand?!)
I am going to do my best to give the drug a good month or two to show me what it can do.
Any advice, input on remeron from veterans would be greatly appreciated.
J-Lo, I'm so sorry this hasn't worked for you. I know how frustrating it is. This is the third AD I've tried since December. Hang in there and thanks so much for posting.
