Treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with Remeron (mirtazapine) typically begins with a low dose. Adults often start with 7.5mg or 15mg taken once daily at bedtime.
Your doctor will monitor your response and may gradually increase your dose. Increases are usually made in 7.5mg increments, not exceeding 45mg daily for most patients. However, some individuals might benefit from higher doses, determined by your physician.
Children and adolescents require special considerations and lower starting dosages under strict medical supervision. Do not adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor.
The optimal dose varies significantly between individuals. Factors influencing dosage adjustments include your age, weight, other health conditions, and response to treatment. Regular check-ups with your doctor are necessary to assess your progress and make adjustments as needed.
