Yes it did. I only gave it 2.5 weeks unfortunately, I regret not giving it 6 weeks, but Remeron can be rough at times. I suspect that Remeron's grehlin increasing effect is also important since ghrelin increases mesolimbic dopamine.
It's NA & DA effects are also important for relief of anhedonia, I think. It knocks on out too, so it improves insomnia somewhat.
If I had to start over again, I would take it any day over SSRI's. I think following the advice of starting at 30 mg is a good idea, as tiredness and somnolence is worse at 15 mg.
if you decide to trial it, I would give it 6 weeks to 3 months. Better said than done of course.
