> Anybody with experience from the combination of Effexor and Remeron? According to professor Stephen M. Stahl University of California and author of several psychopharmacology books, this combo is called "California Rocket Fuel" and "has a great degree of theoretical synergy". Would be very interesting to know more about this.

In Dr Bob's Tips this combination is referred to as 'big guns'. Both drugs work mostly on serotonin and norepinephrine, and to a lesser extent dopamine, except from different mechanisms. The drugs work from different angles. One symbolically opens up the spigot, while the other plugs the drain.
I've tried this combo myself however and didn't like it. It made my ears ring very loud and made me very sluggish.
