In reply to Remeron drowsiness -- when does it go away?, posted by Economist on April 1, 2011, at 19:16:32
> Several days, weeks?
All of the following answers apply:
1. Some people never get over the drowsiness.
2. Drowsiness usually starts to abate within a week and could be a non-issue in several weeks or couple months.
3. Higher doses above 30mg are supposedly less drowsy but not always.So basically you'll have to stay the course to see how it goes. Generally speaking you could reasonably expect drowsiness to diminish as weeks and months go by, and you can reasonably expect drowsiness to diminish at higher doses....but with some people the drowsiness remains a constant problem that never goes away.
If you are hoping for drowsiness to disappear in a few days or a week or two, I don't think that will happen.
I was on remeron for almost a year in combination with prozac. The initial heavy drowsiness was gone in maybe 3 weeks, but the morning hangover/groggy thing was there every day the entire year and usually wore off about mid morning.
