How should I take Remeron?

• Take Remeron exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

• Remeron is available in a regular tablet formulation (Remeron) that should be swallowed with water. Remeron is also available in a rapidly-disintegrating formulation (Remeron SolTab) that will disintegrate rapidly when placed on the tongue and can be swallowed with or without water.

• If you are taking the Remeron rapidly-disintegrating tablets (Remeron SolTab), open the blister pack with dry hands and use the tablet immediately after removal from the blister pack. Do not attempt to split the rapidly-disintegrating tablets.

• Remeron is usually taken once a day, preferably at bedtime. Follow your doctor's instructions.

• It may be several weeks before you start to feel better. Even when you start to feel better, do not stop taking Remeron without first talking to your doctor.

• Store Remeron at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

• Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

What should I avoid while taking Remeron?

• Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Remeron may cause drowsiness and dizziness. If you experience drowsiness or dizziness, avoid these activities.

• Dizziness is likely to occur when you rise from a sitting or lying position. Rise slowly to prevent dizziness and a possible fall.

• Avoid the use of alcohol while taking Remeron. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness.
