Does Klonopin Interact With Remeron?
Question: Hello, my name is Soniya XXXXXXX and I take 15 mg of abilify in the morning, 1 mg of klonopin three times a day, 5 mg of L-methylfolate 2 times a day, and 45 mg of remeron at night to help me sleep. The remeron doesn't always work in helping me sleep so I was told to cut down the dosage in half and only take 22.5 mg. I'm afraid my depression might come back so is it okay for me to take 5 mg of L-methylfolate 3 times a day?
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
As you may know, Remeron is more effective for sleep at LOWER rather than HIGHER doses, so I would indeed expect this to improve your sleep. I would not expect this dose reduction to have an effect on your depression. However, yes, it would be safe to take up to 15mg of L-mehtylfolate daily.
