Hello to all, I started on Remeron-7 1/2 mgm. for sleep on Nov.22, 1999. I immediately received 6-8 hours of sleep (an added 3 to 4 hours). But something else happened. I have Parkinson's Disease and my whole body had progressed from tremor to shaking over a period of 5-6 years. ENTER REMERON and in three days my tremor and shaking disappeared. During this period I requested 30 mgms daily. I am doing well, feel better and sleep well. The only time my tremor appears is when I forget to take my medicine. Keep trying. Good luck.
