Any experience with remeron? Started it last week. Not sure why. I need something for agitation because it rules me and I can't do anything. Feel little less agitated but I think it gives me akathesia. I've taken everything for agitation and my NP is at a loss. I can't go up on Seroquel because it makes me tired and akathesia.

All I wanted to do on it was eat and sleep. It was bad for weight gain for me. I was never, ever full on it. I didn't have issues with akathasia on it.

I recall it as being sedating. It didn't help me at all. The only SSRI that I seemed to be compatible with is escitalopram/lexapro. I've tried most everything else, including the tricyclics.

I increased my Seroquel slightly and has helped a little but my dreams are out of control. Very intense.

I tried Remeron for sleep, but it stopped working after several weeks, so I discontinued it.
For ameliorating EPS, including akathisia, I highly recommend Gabapentin. It also improves the sleep architecture. I also recommend Vit B6, 250-350 mg, and vitamin B-complex (two separate supplements), for EPS amelioration. Both help me, and I am very prone to EPS and had horrible akathisia on high doses of Seroquel years ago, before I discovered those EPS amelioration tools.
