I am just over four weeks in on 15mg of remeron and am doing much better. I had severe anxiety and moderate depression (depression had been severe for the past six months--ie suicidal and extremely slowed down, but had started to ease somewhat before I started the remeron). I saw some improvement immediately, but then also had a lot of backsliding. I believe I have turned the corner at the four week mark, because now I am feeling considerably better (knock wood).
Good luck to you, it is definitely worth a trial of six to eight weeks.
I didn't think this drug was going to do anything for my anxiety based on the first couple of weeks, but yesterday I was able to golf nine holes of golf--something that produces severe anxiety in me. Four weeks ago I had trouble leaving the house!!!!!!!!
