>Hi Outsider,
My Dr. told me with remeron higher mg. means less sedation.In other words 15mg. is the strongest. If you go to 7.5 you will sleep 24hrs. Ha! I don't remember how long it took for the sedation to subside. I would keep it around 30-45mg. I can't take 30mg. as it causes my ankles & feet to swelling. Dr. put me on lex & I was complaining to him about being so tired. He suggested going to 30 but I couldn't. The tiredness from lex finally subsided. I am on klonopin also-which makes you tired but your body does adjust.The sedation was much worse with lex than with remeron & klonopin. Let me know what you decide but give it some time.
