>Hi Shannon,
I have been taking it for roughly 7-8 months & have been taking 30mg for most of that time. Recently I tried going down to 22.5 mg as requested by my pdoc & I had trouble sleeping through the night & had a lot of vivid dreams breaking through which is caused by Effexor. After 2 weeks I got sick of it & poor sleep made me really grumpy & depressed so I went back to 30mg & I instantly got back in to a good mood the very next day. :) I haven't heard of Remeron suddenly pooping out, OTOH, I don't think it does much in the first place as monothearpy. I am using Remeron as a remedy for Effexor's side effects & I think that an SSRI + Remeron is like a good TCA with much less side effects.
Cheers,
Panda.
