I took Ambien for insomnia caused by major agitated depression. When nothing (and i mean nothing) else would knock me out this would do it 100% of the time. But at one helluva price. Consistently and every time the next day featured some of the blackest depression i have ever known. I eventually went with sleeping an hour a night for days on end rather than take this stuff. Trazadone worked ~ 60% with none of the side effects. Eventually I found an anti-depressent (Mirtazapine) that worked and cured the insomnia.
Good thing you are now able to get sleep.
Remeron is a tricycline antidepressant. It is also used to increase apetite so it will cause weight gain over time.
Connect with a support group or consider counseling. The idea is to eliminate the factors that aggrevate depression. A counselor will help you develop stress management skills that will help keep the depression at bay. Eventually, you will be able to sleep without the help of Remeron. (Mirtazapine).
(I'm not saying you do not know how to manage stress).
Is your depression biological?
