my dr. had me cut my remeron in half and i have been taking for 4-6 weeks now when i did that i did not sleep at all last night i called the office to have him put me back on 45 mg does anyone know if cutting remeron in half would this cause me not to sleep something like a side affect for cutting to much at one time please help?

Hey bulldog,

DId your physician tell you why he cut your dose fro 45 to 22.5?  Did you have lab work that was out of normal range?

It can make you to drowsy during the day, were you having any problems with that?  Also I do not know what other drugs your on?

Could it be the cause of your insomnia, I am not a professional but I would suspect it may cause your problem.

Please call you physician and clarify why he changed the dose.

Take care and keep posting.

I have been on remeron for about 6 yrs at 45 mg.  about 4 months ago my dr. cut me to 30 mg and I have not noticed any difference except that I have lost my voracious appetite and am again losing weight which is great for me.  I don't notice any trouble sleeping except that I do have a tendency to wake up earlier in the morning than before.  But I can honestly say that I have not suffered any more depression or sleeplesness due to the cut in dose and that was a pretty big cut in the dose.

Normally the lower the dose the more you sleep on it. Do you think it just may have been your brain worrying too much that gave you the sleepless night.

i seen my dr. today  and he called in and made it 30 mg rather than splitting them, he seems to think that was why i didnt sleep and i dont have insomnia never did. i also take klonopin ,5mg as needed or 3 x's a day i have anxiety not depression. and thanks to all who responded.

Do you mean .5mgs of klonopin? I'm on 4mgs a day and that's quiet high.
