I have to disagree here (which just proves it's all individual experience!). I've been taking Remeron for nearly 8 months now, initially for both sleep and depression problems, although I've had insomnia for years and this was the main symptom of the depression! I started out on 30 mg and slept a LOT, often felt a bit dopey during the day (but definitely helped the depression). After a few months I switched to 15 mg and have been sleeping pretty good on that, with only a few not so good nights. I do not feel as dopey as on 30 mg. I've recently made attempts to taper down to 7.5 mg but as soon as I do this I immediately start having problems. Consequently I'm still on 15 mg. Don't know if this helps, or just makes things confusing :)
