Lar, in reading your conversation with Johnj...
> I also have funny eye twitches, and muscle twitches from lack of sleep. Lack of sleep takes it toll. Have you tried a low dose of remeron?Not low dose. It made me impotent (which I will not accept), so I ditched it. I've got some left (30 mg tabs).....hmmmmm.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lar, aah haa, so you DIDN'T try the LOW-dose remeron for your sleep, you only took the higher doses....I have always had HORRIBLE insomnia and low-dose Remeron has been a savior to me....try 7.5 or 15 mg Remeron, it works VERY well for me (take it w/ some magnesium (glycinate) and it works even better (for me). It may TOTALLY knock you out at first! It might be hard to function the next day (it ANNHILATED me at first!)...but after a few days your body will adjust (oh it will still work, it just won't wipe you out to THAT extreme as it may right at the very beginning).
> I know you tried it in the past, but at what dose?
My episodic memory sucks....I don't remember for sure, but I think I started at 30, and went to 45 after two weeks. My declarative memory is still good, but episodic memory is a real problem for me.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Stay LOW (7.5 or 15 mg) for sleep problems.
> Take care of yourself and hopefully I will have the energy to keep looking. My wife is not handling things very well and I sometimes wonder if she will leave. I wouldn't blame her as the meds make me intolerable and grumpy and short tempered. Thanks to remeron my sex drive has diminished to almost nothing.
At low dose? Darn. There goes that idea.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lar, I have never had that problem with Remeron at the lower doses...in fact, many say it helps with sexual problems caused by other meds....I would DEFINITELY give it a try if i were you!
