My Dr. just started me on Remeron 30 mg. today. I would like to know what type of side effects people are seeing with this medication and how or if this medication works. I used to be on WellButrin 150mg. and it just wasn't working so the Dr. put me on this medication...Please let me know what you think about it and it's effects on you....Thanks..Tim :o)

Remeron is a good drug, with generally few side-effects. I think you would definitely have a chance of relief with Remeron. It would calm you down and help you sleep when you need to.
I started Remeron at 60 mg right away and had no side-effects. I had no weight gain or sedation during the day.
Here are the benefits of Remeron:
--It can be used for all types of depression, anxiety, OCD, and insomnia.
--It is convienient because it is taken only once at bedtime.
--It may improve libido and sexual performance (its the only medication that improves mine). Dr. Bob Hsieung's fellow doctors recommend it for sexual dysfunction.
--You can take Remeron with most antidepressants except MAOIs.
--It has none of the anticholinergic effects of SSRIs.
--It has gained recognition as a very useful medication from psychiatrists in only four years of FDA approval.http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Mirtazapine-for-SSRI-ADRs.html

Best thing about Remeron is that it's not an SSRI, in my opinion. Biggest side-effect people complain about is sedation. If that becomes a ploblem for you, try taking it a couple of hours before bedtime.
