Best dose of remeron (mirtazapine) used for sleep only? i was prescribed 30 mg but i h been reading that the smaller doses are more sedating?

Insomnia: I understand your desire to have good sleep. Remeron is SSRI Medication for depression and can have many side effects; it can cause sleepiness and insomnia. Sleep problem can be due to stresses of relationship, marriage, separation, divorce, parenting, work and finances in life. See a Psychiatrist for Diagnosis, Therapy Medication as needed Do Breathing and Music Relaxation, Yoga, Meditation

Ans: Discuss with prescribing doctor who is best able to adjust your dose. He/she knows your history including any other meds you take. Also, try keeping a sleep log to help diagnose your sleep problem. See: http://sleepdisorders.about.com/od/sleepdisorderevaluation/a/Sleep_Log.htm and https://sleepfoundation.org/sleep-diary/SleepDiaryv6.pdf I hope this helps.

Possibly: As a non-SSRI serotonin medicine which affects a number of neurotransmitters, it is true that for some people lower doses are more sedating. However there is much variation, and of course there are many other nonpharmacologic factors it interacts with. So address this with you prescriber, who can best consider you, the individual.
