I take Remeron. It's the most potent H1 blocker available. It's nearly double the strength of Doxepin, 10x the strength of Amitriptyline & 50x stronger than Nortriptyline. 15mg is heaps for sleep, a lot of people get by on just 7.5mg. The amount required just for sleep probably means that it doesn't have much affect on any other receptors. If you are looking for H1 + 5-HT2A for sleep, you may be better off with low dose Trimipramine or Doxepin.
Cheers,
Panda.
