In reply to how can you be anti-depressed on remeron if, posted by saturn on October 3, 2006, at 20:04:53
The tiredness, for me, doesn't last in the morning. If I take it at night, I am tired, but I don't feel tired when I wake up. I did feel tired during the day when I first started it + SSRIs, but that went away after a couple weeks. Maybe 2-3 wks, looking back.
I am on both lexapro (10 mg) and Remeron (15 mg) and it seems to work better than just lexapro.
On both of these things, I am very emotionally strong. I seldom feel depressed or anxious and I can go with the inevitable flow and insults of everyday life much better than I did before. (Or is it all just a coincidence?)
On remeron, you do have to watch out for weight gain. I had to cut out ALL sugar and white flour to manage the cravings. Now I feel like that is manageable.
During the day, I feel alert. I do need to make sure to get 8 full hours of sleep though and not to take the Remeron too late at night.
