> Thanks for your response. It's interesting to learn about the use of higher remeron dosages in Europe. I did briefly try increasing remeron to 45 mg. but then found I couldn't sleep as well. I don't know if I gave it enough time at the higher dose as it was only a few days and then I got scared because I wasn't sleeping well. There's nothing worse than not being able to sleep when you feel terrible to begin with.
I know insomnia can be torturous. However, it can also be an indication that you were just reaching a therapeutic dosage of Remeron. If at some point in the future, you decide to revisit Remeron, then you are going to need to treat the insomnia aggressively as you titrate to 45-75 mg. For me, insomnia is a good sign that I am about to respond to treatment. I can't guarantee that this will be the case for you. However, if insomnia is the only thing standing in your way to increase the dosage of Remeron, then I believe this should be treatable. I am not recommending you self-medicate, but I would bring this strategy up with your doctor.
