In reply to Remeron 2 weeks. How long til it works??, posted by AdamCanada on July 10, 2007, at 20:02:18
When I took Remeron for the first time I had to take 45-60 mgs before it started to work. And it took months before I got to that dose.
Try to read this article, in particular the part about "anergic dysthymia". Does that apply to you ? It certainly did apply to me.

Here is a possible augmentation of Remeron:

I have had a lot of success with Remeron/Abilify combo. It hits anhedonia, avolition and low sexuality like nothing else and it has made me much more social. It started working for me within 2 days of adding Abilify.
My present meds are (in order they were added):
Reboxetine 4 mg
Prozac 20 mg
Remeron 15 mg
Abilify 2.5 mgIt should be noted that I dont get the usual sedation or "munchies" from Remeron when taking this combo.
Also notice that all these doses are fairly low. I have found out that lower doses seem to work much better once you find the right med.
I hope this can help youo.
