| Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
| 5 | sleep and anti-depressant | None at this dose | Take 1/2 of a 30MG pill every night; tried to increase, caused me anxiety (but so did Lexapro and Zoloft). Have some weight gain (a couple of pounds) but that's because I stopped using the treadmill last March. Taking this drug in combination with 2MG Xanax spread out in .5 mg (four to five hours apart throughout the day) to help me deal with the death of my 23 year old daughter. I would not be sleeping without Remeron and it also has anti-depressant effects that I need right now. | F | 64 | 60 days 15 1X D | 5/12/2011 | |
| 5 | sleep and anti-depressant | none | Helps me sleep. | F | 64 | 15 1X D | 4/29/2012 | |
| 1 | sleep and anti-depressant | Helped me sleep when I needed help. Then, the withdrawal | This drug works if you are in the throes of a serious catastrophe. It enhances your antidepressant and helps you sleep soundly and fights anxiety (mind you, I took 1/2 of usually prescribed starting dose). Trying to get off it? PURE HELL. Sweats, tremors, suicidal thoughts, extremely high anxiety, all known side effects of withdrawal but from 7.5 MILLIGRAMS? If you need it, take it. But don't just STOP, wean yourself off very carefully. I'll never take it again. | F | 64 | 0 days 7.5 1X D | 4/29/2013 | |
