Remeron Dosage: How much is too much?
Remeron
Dosage Overview:
 Your
Remeron dosage should be taken with or without food, although it is preferable
to take it in the evening before you go to bed. Even if you begin to feel
better (which may be within one to four weeks) you should continue taking your
Remeron dosage as prescribed.
If you are taking the
Remeron Sol Tabs (which is an orally disintegrating form of this antidepressant
medication), you need to make sure your hands are dry before removing the tablet
from the blister pack and then immediately place the tablet on your tongue. You
should not attempt to split your Remeron dosage as it will fall apart quickly
(melt away) with your saliva.
If you miss your Remeron dosage...
You should take your
forgotten dosage as soon as possible if you remember it within a couple hours;
otherwise you need to skip this dose. You should never try to catch up your
forgotten Remeron dosage.
Storage instructions...
You need to store this
medication at room temperature in a tight, light resistant container.
