The basic dosage of the drug Remeron begins with 15 mg per day. The dosage is ideally meant for administration in the evening or few hours before hitting the bed for sleep. This is essentially so as the common after-effect of the drug observed in the form of drowsiness induces the person to an undisturbed sleep at night.
The effective dosage recommended to people suffering from various stages of clinical depression may range from 15 mg to 45 mg in one day. However, the maximum dosage should never exceed 45 mg per day in order to avoid its severe side effects. Ideally changes in the concentration of the dosage are done after every one-two weeks. This gives sufficient time to the specialist to determine if the patient is positively responding to the dosage or not.
It is taken for granted that the treatment with this medicine takes around several weeks to months. In general cases, the person may take around 40 weeks to respond to the treatment and show drastic or noticeable improvements. People showing signs of improvements are recommended to gradually lower the dosage to stop the treatment. Those stopping the intake of the medicine abruptly may show several withdrawal effects.
