Treatment for anxiety with Remeron typically starts with a low dose. Doctors often prescribe 15mg of mirtazapine (Remeron) once daily at bedtime.
This low starting dose minimizes potential side effects while allowing your body to adjust. Your doctor will carefully monitor your response and may gradually increase the dosage, usually in increments of 15mg, to a maximum of 45mg daily, depending on your individual needs and response to treatment.
Important Note: Never adjust your Remeron dosage without consulting your physician. Dosage adjustments should be made under medical supervision to ensure your safety and optimal therapeutic effect. Side effects, while possible, can vary between individuals. Open communication with your doctor about your experience with the medication is critical.
Higher doses (above 45mg) are generally not recommended for anxiety unless specifically indicated by your doctor. They are sometimes used for treatment-resistant depression, but this should be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Remember, finding the right dosage is a collaborative process between you and your healthcare provider. Regular check-ups and open communication about your symptoms and any side effects you experience will help determine the most effective and safe Remeron dosage for you.
