The trick about sleep is not to think it's an automatic function that meds will help you make. That makes the meds tend to fail, as I had terrible insomnia during December finals week and it cost me a lot, incompletes and the anxiety that followed those.
Don't ever depend on a med to help you sleep. You're on one, Remeron, that will, but the trick is to work on relaxation techniques that help it work better.
I've noticed my self-hypnosis tape, which relaxes me plus trained me on breathing exercises, got better after committing to it every night for months.
Even if it doesn't work, play it and follow it each night anyway. And never try sleeping for more than 30 minutes, or else you'll stay awake all night.
Get up after 30 minutes and read something boring for a few minutes. Repeat until you finally fall asleep.
You don't want to rely on refill dates or drugs in general as the sole method of having a good night's sleep. You owe it to yourself to learn how to cope with the cause of your sleep, anxiety.
