Remeron, dropping dose to 7.5?

Posted by billym on December 26, 2003, at 17:05:08


I was wondering if anyone here has had experience either dropping their dose from 15mg to 7.5, or upping their dose from 7.5 to 15mg? Did you notice any changes?

I am at 15mg right. I want to drop to 7.5mg. Why? I desperately need to gain weight. I am wondering if dropping the dose even lower might cause more weight gain. Has anyone had that experience?

Thank you.

i think it might make you sleep all day! that amount off inactivity would problably cause weight gain provided you had the energy to eat.
i gained 70 lbs on 45mg remeron per day. i would think there are other better methods to gain weight than a/d meds.

the best to you!

It might, you could try adding an Atypical antispychotic (low dose) such as zyprexa.
