I just got damn lucky with this, as it was the last drug they could try. I was out of options and damned if it didn't work.
Also a note to people. Finding the right medication can take years.. not weeks or months.. so if your going down this road be prepared for the long haul until they find what lessens your symptoms.

I started taking Remeron about 3 weeks ago and I am not sure if the sedative nature is quite right for me. The Psychiatrist picked it because sleep is a major issue for me (night terrors, frequent disturbances) and there was worries of possible seizures but I am finding it's to much. Unless the alarm is set or something wakes me, I could probably sleep the day away. I'm going to give it more time to see how my body adjusts to it but if it continues I will be asking for something else.
