Hi everyone
I have just been perscribed Remeron Soltab 30mg/day. Can I swallow the tablet whole or does it have to disintergrated on tongue?I hope it can be swallowed whole because Id rather do that so I know Im getting the full dose.
Also Im on 200mg Trazadone and 350mg seroquel.
I am also trying to get over 100mg Prozac induced insomnia. While on Prozac100mg I was on Trazadone200 and 6mg Invega BUT could not sleep so we swithched Invega for seroquel 350mg. That did get me 8 hrs of sleep at night but I had soo many crazy dreams I woke up every 30mins. My anxiety, depression, and social phobia felt just as bad as if i were on no meds. So after a bit of research I figured I should give remeron a try. Ive been on all the ssri's and moai's with some success. I found Parnate very good for depression but Insomnia/sweating was too much unfortunately. Yesterday I started my new combo remeron/seroquel/Trazadon and I cant tell a difference yet from the remeron. I know insomnia affects alot of us so this is an interesting combo which I'd like to share my experience with. Any comments on remeron would be greatly appreciated especially if I can swallow the SolTabs, I realy hope it works. Thankyou

I couldn't find any prohibitions against swallowing a Remeron Soltab in the literature. You should be okay swallowing it like you would the regular version.

What does the scrip say? If it says sub-lingual, that means it is absorbed through the glands under the tongue and you need to place it under your tongue until it dissolves. If it says by mouth, just swallow the tablet.

It is not sublingual. One is supposed to allow it to dissolve on the top of the tongue and swallow immediately. I guess it is meant for people who have trouble swallowing pills.
