Question
in your opion is remeron for sleep have in general side effects no worse then sleeping pills.any problem combining remeron with rozerem?

Answer
Hi Frank . . .

I have found Remeron to often be useful for people with sleep difficulties. I have never prescribed Rozerem as I am not convinced of its effectiveness. It is impossible for me to compare Remeron with other sleeping medications without knowing which medications at what doses you have in mind.

Best regards . . .
