| 5 | insomnia | knocked me out cold | I first got this when i was tapering xanax (nightmare), it always knocked me out cold within 45min or an hour. That was several years ago. I recently got another prn prescription for it and notice now it makes me really tired the next day. Its the only thing besides a lot of benzos (more than most docs will prescribe) that can make me sleep. | | 11/9/2006 | 5 | | 2/20/2005 | 5 | some sleepiness | M | 12 years | 4/16/2008 | 4 | deoression and anxiety | 1 days | 9/16/2013 | 4 | extreme depression | after about 6 weeks of taking this medication, i still feel somewhat numb on my extremities. It is a very strange feeling, I know that I am taking a shower but I do not feel myself washing. I hope that this passes soon. The medication causes at least 12 hours of sleep and the sleep is uninterupted. | | 6/28/2004 | 3 | | 5/21/2003 | 3 | | 6/13/2007 | 3 | I have noticed some are saying what dosage(mg)they are taking and it is very helpful. Would like to see this information included in all posts. | | 12/28/2008 | 2 | depression/insomnia | appetite increase, hangover upon starting medication, headaches | When I started taking remeron, I felt hungover for a full 4 days, even when only taking 7.5 mg/day. I am constantly hungry and feel the need to eat. I hate this medication with a Passion. | F | 6 months | 1/23/2003 | 2 | anxiety | Nausea, headache, involuntary leg movements at night, insomnia at night, exhaustion and grossiness during the day, dizzy. I couldn't believe how terrible I felt on this drug. The effects kicked in about 40 minutes after taking the pill. | I tried the drug for 7 days, starting out with 15 mg, then down to 7.5, and still had terrible side effects. Quit and am trying Celexa now. | F | 7 days | 4/30/2003 | 2 | sleep | F | 8 months | 8/22/2006 | 1 | Depression | F | 1.875 1X day | 3/30/2012 Patient History | 1 | Depression and Insomnolence | Very tired, headache, very vivid dreams. Huge appetite. Flu-like symptoms. | I slept great the first night. The second night I had the most vivid nightmare I have ever had. I liked that I at least slept. After the second pill which was 15mg, I could hardly function. I wanted to sleep all the time and developed flu-like symptoms. I also noticed I was hungry all the time. I don't weigh alot for my body frame, but had already gained six pounds in one month from Cymbalta which did not help me sleep at all. I stopped when I couldn't go to work due to feeling Zombie like and having the worst flu I have ever had in my life. | F | 5 days | 2/15/2005 | 1 | depression | This drug picked me up and threw me over a cliff | I was prescribed Remeron because other drugs were less than effective in treating my depression. I took the drug twice and woke up feeling groggy and, more importantly, suicidal. This is apparently a very rare reaction, but it was a very strong one for me and I don't think I would have made it through the week had I continued to take the stuff. | M | 2 days | 1/15/2009 | 1 | depression and insomnia | increased anxiety over eating weight gain dizziness almost at times a drunk feeling later at night within two hours of taking it | M | 2 weeks | 5/1/2008 | 1 | sleep | 1 days | 6/18/2014 | 3 | dg | xdfg | xh | F | 1 | 56 days | 12/21/2004 | 4 | anxiety insomnia eating disorder | intense emotion super happy or super sad - outburts of anger | I can sleep and eat now without feeling anxious - but I can't seem ot control my emotions and I don't listen to my parents as well. | M | 9 | 2 months | 6/13/2005 | 4 | Insomnia | 9 year old boy takes medication. Falls asleep within half hour. Sleeps steady for 12 hours. Doesn't work well when taking it on a school night because he falls asleep in class the next day. No adverse side effects. | Actually taking the Soltab version (melts in your mouth and meant for children.) My 9 year old was able to take the medication very easily. Child has insomnia, but the medication is too powerful to use at bedtime. Have to give the medication 13 hours before he is expected to wake up the next day. Inconvenient. Experiences a lessening in the sleepiness if he takes it consistantly. (i.e. takes medication but doesn't fall asleep until two hours later.) So we only use the medication for specific days where it is important that he wake up early, and it is obvious that he is unable to go to sleep on time. | M | 9 | 1 years 15 mg 1X day | 11/8/2010 | 3 | depression, sleeping disorder | at first increased appitite and being able to go to sleep faster and wake up earlier. | Before i was in a deep depression and not being able to sleep made it worse i havent cut in like 5 months and I have scars from over a year ago. my doc started me on 30mgs which i have read is very bad expecially with my age, after about 2 weeks my sleepin problems came back im still depressed but i dont feel like thinking about the things that used to make me not want to live. before the meds i didnt have any emotions i never cryed i didnt get mad or sad or happy but now the emotions are overwhelming, alot of the time ill be in the middle of a conversation and for no reason ill have to hold back tears my voice gets shaky and it dont matter what im talking about. My case manger (theripist) says its because i didnt have any emotions for so long but id rather be depressed than hurt others feelings. if anyone also thinks my doc is a pill pusher or my theripist is a quack please email me (also started concerta at 36mgs, ive been told by lots of phd certifyed people that i dont have adhd o | F | 14 | 6 months | 8/15/2007 |
