Thanks for asking, I can handle this one easily. Remeron (mirtazapine) wins hands down. No questions asked. I suggest that you take 7.5mg/day for the first two weeks and only increase it by 7.5mg every week until you find the optimum dose. Make sure you get the regular form of Remeron so that you can break the pills in half (not the Sol-Tab). While your body is becoming adjusted to the Remeron, take that Provigil (modafinil) every morning to get you up. My old roommate would set a pill on top of his snooze button. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that sleep apnea is causing your E.D.S. (You already knew that though.) I'm only going to provide one link, because providing more than that would only be confusing. Just go to

http://www.biopsychiatry.com/sleepy.htmI appreciate someone asking such an easy question for once. I'll provide a more in depth discussion of how Remeron improves sleep architecture sometime else.
