I started on Remeron 2 weeks ago, partially for depression and partially for insomnia. My doc put me on 15mg once a day and I'll allowed to self up it to 30mg. I'm not finding I'm sleeping any better. I understand the anti depressant qualities take a few weeks to take effect, but I understand the sleeping is supposed to be fairly quick. I had one day where I slept well, but since then I'm still getting my usual 2 hours a night. Does the increase in sleep happen gradually too? I was expecting it to be a fairly quick response.. I don't get drowsy, I don't stay asleep, I don't even get dopey. It's like I'm taking a placebo? Is anybody else like this?? It's honestly like I don't take a darn thing... I'm so frustrated! I need sleep badly!
