But you should know that Remeron is highly unusual in that doses below 30 mg. often have more side effects - especially sedation - than doses 30 mg and higher. There are technical reasons for this. Dr. Pact always starts patients at 30 mg at bedtime. So I recommend trying 30 mg. If you and your neuro have any further questions, you can contact Dr. Pact at [log in to unmask] (919) 932-9111 (It would be better for your neuro to call.)
