Remeron, will it help soon?

[KoalaMommy]

Hubby is on day 5/6 of oxy withdrawals.  He's at work and really hurting and depressed.  I called his dr and was given an rx for remeron.  He assured me that it's safe and temporary.  (I trust our dr implicitly.)  But, is it going to work like now?  He needs to be feeling in better spirits immediately.  The dr said yes, he will feel better by tomorrow.  Anyone else have info?

I took this and it worked in just a few days.  It REALLY helped me with depression.  To me that was a big part of the wd's.  You can pm me if you want more info.  Good luck!

I was prescibed remeron for deep depression 4 years ago. I was on this up till 2 years ago and aside from helping with the depression the most benificial side effect was that is helped me sleep.   I needed to take my dose which I think was 10mg  about 1hr before bed and it would put me out.        I am not sure about helping with W.Ds.       Good Luck

Sounds like it might help him.
May be addictive, be careful.
Good luck

REMERON® (mirtazapine) Tablets are indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder. The efficacy of REMERON® in the treatment of major depressive disorder was established in six-week controlled trials of outpatients whose diagnoses corresponded most closely to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – 3rd edition (DSM-III) category of major depressive disorder (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY).

A major depressive episode (DSM-IV) implies a prominent and relatively persistent (nearly every day for at least 2 weeks) depressed or dysphoric mood that usually interferes with daily functioning, and includes at least five of the following nine symptoms: depressed mood, loss of interest in usual activities, significant change in weight and/or appetite, insomnia or hypersomnia, psychomotor agitation or retardation, increased fatigue, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, slowed thinking or impaired concentration, a suicide attempt or suicidal ideation.

No, I know it won't help with the withdrawal but I'm hoping it will help him not be so depressed and anxious?  He's super negative right now.

Sorry to say, it's not anything to help with withdrawls.
