I finally saw my pdoc and asked to try remeron for sleep. I started taking 15 mg 4 days ago and I am getting the sleep I was wishing for. Like others I have read about, I too am having vivid strange dreams but the sleep benefit outweighs them. I was a zombie the first 2 days but held in there. I now get sleepy during the day but it isn't all day.

I also have MDD and I am not really looking for a big antidepressant effect on the 15 mg as much as the help to get to sleep. I have noticed today on the 4th day that my emotions are a bit out of whack. I am touchy and feel like I can get angry very easily. I also feel some sadness. I wasn't having these symptoms before. I also wasn't on any antidepressant before either. I was feeling slightly depressed before but now it feels very affective (more emotional). I am going to try and hang in there. I called my pdoc's office to let them know. I think I need another antidepressant to go along with the remeron. I also have ADHD and that complicates things a bit.

ADHD
MDD
GAD

I couldn't tolerate 10 mg Adderall XR (bad headaches), increased HR and BP too high. So I d/c'd it. I let my pdoc's office know.

current psychtropic meds:

Clonazepam 1mg BID
Mirtazapine 15 mg

Still no help for the ADHD yet. Hopefully soon.
