Remeron or Effexor XR?

[jasoncrest]

is remeron a true AD?

i thought it was benzo?

Remeron (Mirtazapine) is an Antidepressant.
It shares some common effects with benzos: it puts you to sleep and it helps with anxiety.

I found that..
15mg's - knocked me out..
30mg's - still made me semi-tired
and anything above 30mg's didn't have that effect.. almost the opposite above 30mg's..
its a strange drug tho.. and if used for sleep problems.. less is almost better with mirtazapine..

Yes but more than 30mg (but not more than 60mg) takes you to a strange dream-like state, with some kind of closed-eyes hallucinations very similar to Melatonin or Ambien...
