Your doctor will determine the correct Remeron dosage based on your individual needs and response to treatment. Common starting doses range from 15mg to 30mg daily, taken at bedtime. This timing minimizes daytime drowsiness, a frequent side effect. Higher doses, up to 45mg, might be prescribed if needed, but always under medical supervision.
Managing Side Effects
Weight gain is a potential side effect, so regular monitoring and discussion with your doctor are important. Lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, can help mitigate this. Dry mouth is also common; sip water frequently to alleviate this discomfort. Constipation can occur; increasing fiber intake and hydration can be beneficial. Drowsiness is another potential side effect; avoid driving or operating machinery if affected. Rarely, more serious side effects such as seizures or allergic reactions may occur; contact your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual symptoms.
Dosage Adjustments
Dosage adjustments are made gradually, usually in increments of 15mg. Your doctor will carefully monitor your response and adjust your dosage accordingly. Never alter your dosage without consulting your doctor. Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor your progress and manage any side effects. Open communication with your healthcare provider is vital for optimal treatment.
