> Is 7.5 mg more sedating then the 15 mg ? If so, is it ok to split the 15 mg sol-tabs in half and use them ?
Theoretically some say a higher dose is less sedating becaus other transmitters kick in; however, I found this not to be all that true. For sleep, I would still imagine the lowest is better.
The prescribing information doesn't mention anything about scoring Sol-Tabs... one, I recall they're slightly crumbly like wafer candy, two, since they are meant to rapidly disintegrate, it is possible that you 1) will get a bad taste and 2)it is not clear whether the remeron is evenly distributed throughout the Sol-Tab.
But I dont think its dangerous; at best you'll get 7.5mg, a slightly awful taste mixed with, oh, I forget now, did they use a pleasant orange taste ?
Of course this can all be bypassed by getting generic mirtazamine tablets which are much cheaper, but I dont know if you're taking the Sol-Tabs because you have difficulty swallowing or whether your doctor thinks it will work faster.
Anyhow, my 2c
