I am wondering if Remeron has a therapeutic window or if it has a dose-related response (i.e. when dose increases, so does efficacy). I know that the sedation (and weight gain?) is lowered with increasing dose. I am on 45 mg qHS but I have heard of people taking 60 mg or more. What is the practical dose maximum?
Thanks In Advance

Provided you are getting some effect, or have reason to expect improvement from Remeron going above 45 mgs is worth a try and you should let side effects tell you how much is too much. I would expect these
might be sedation and increased appetite. Raise the dose slowly, as always. If you are doing polydrug treatment, consider the significant effect other AD's have on Remeron and vice versa. Go even slower if you are taking something else.James

I've heard of people going up to 90 mg on Remeron. I'm not getting any effect from 60 mg of Remeron, so I'm adding Effexor to it, to make that "power" combination that is mentioned in the Tips.
I don't think that taking 60 mg will have any less side-effects than 45 mg. I think that 15-30 mg is where people get the most drowsiness.
