Dosage Administration Important Notes
Initial Dosage: 15 mg taken daily, preferably in the evening just before going to bed.

Approach: Remeron is typically taken orally, either with or without meals. You can drink water and swallow the whole tablet.

Regularity: To maintain consistent bloodstream levels and get the best effects, Remeron should be taken at the same time every day.
Maximum amount: 45 mg per day is often the highest amount that is advised. Avoid Alcohol: Since alcohol can raise the chance of side effects like sleepiness and dizziness, it is advised to avoid alcohol when taking Remeron. Remeron should not be stopped suddenly. To prevent withdrawal symptoms, it is important to gradually lower your dosage under medical supervision.

Modification: Your doctor may change your dosage in accordance with how you personally react to the drug.

Monitoring: In addition to monitoring your treatment, your healthcare professional may conduct regular assessments to evaluate the medication’s efficacy and any possible adverse effects. Precaution: When using Remeron, you must drink multiple glasses of water daily to protect your kidneys.

Take the dosage as soon as possible if you forget to take it. Never take two doses at once if your next dose is almost due. Take one dosage at a time.

Overdosing on any medication can have detrimental effects on your health. Inform your doctor right away if you think you may have overdosed. Remeron overdoses can result in drowsiness, disorientation, rapid heartbeat, and memory loss.

Interactions

Remeron may interact with tricyclic antidepressants (such as nortriptyline, amitriptyline, moxapine, and doxepin), St. John’s Wort, and benzodiazepines, which include diazepam, lorazepam, and oxazepam.
