Each time you raise the dose on Remeron, especially above 45, it becomes less sedating. Remeron knocked me out like a light at 15mg but 60mg had absolutely no effect on me whatsoever, sedative-wise or depression-wise. I took it for years and the only thing I've noticed now that I don't take it anymore is that my sex drive may be down just slightly. I did find Remeron to be quite pro-sexual, especially after a decade of SSRI/SNRI use.
I take 75-150mg trazodone for sleep now and it works surprisingly well. I don't think it has any antidepressant effect, though. I also think that temazepam is fantastic for sleep but I've found that doctors here in the Atlanta area don't like to prescribe it because of its affinity for diversion to the black market. It's very hot right now for some reason and the docs have really clamped down on it like they did Xanax when it became really popular as a street drug. I'm not sure why temazepam's so popular because I don't think it's in any way euphoric, it just makes me sleep for precisely 8 hours and wake up feeling very refreshed.
