So it was just one night that you didn't
sleep? I don't know what aderall is, but
I think that missing a night of sleep and
then staying up during the day and taking
it wouldn't do any damage to your body.
Read the side effects, it may say it'll
make you drowsy or something so you'd be
extra tired during the day. As far as I
know missing sleep and then taking a pill
won't do any damage, maybe just increase
side effects of drowsiness or whatever.

Mdkzilla,
how long where you on remeron?
You said your doctor wasn't thinking
because it is for depression?
Well you are wrong, because yes it is a
type of anti-depressant but that’s what
anti-anxiety medication is. It is an
anti-depressant in a much milder dose.
#2 if you have been on remeron for a
period of time say 4 months or more or
ever less you shouldn't just stop taking
it, you need to tell your doctor you want
to come off it and you are supposed to do
it gradually not at once because your body
can with drawl, possibly the reason you
couldn't sleep. #3unless you have
consulted a doctor I wouldn't take a drug
like aderall or any other one to keep you
awake that is unless your doctor is aware
because you are young and you shouldn't
have to take it unless it was prescribed
for you. I think you need to make an
appointment with your doctor and discuss
what you have done and what you are
planning on doing. Be careful.
