Thanks for bringing this up. I’ve had terrible insomnia for well over a year. Remeron has been suggested by more than one doctor but I’ve been hesitant. I took SSRI’s for years which didn’t do much for depression. I had a horrible time getting off of them. It’s been a few years now and I don’t want to go on another medication if I can avoid it. I might have to if I can’t get insomnia under control so I appreciate this thread. I haven’t had a full nights sleep in a very long time. Even when I took Clonopin, I still woke up. I average 2-5hrs interrupted sleep a night.
The Remeron weight gain is a concern. I was able to lose over 40lbs after stopping antidepressants and don’t want to put it back on. It seems like the low dose works well. Maybe it’s not as much of an issue on a lower dose? Hopeful for good sleep for all of us here. Sleep is healing and so important. Not sleeping well is really getting to me.
