In reply to Combining Effexor XR and Remeron, posted by AmyL on April 1, 2001, at 11:21:26
That is the best combination that ever existed, due to their action on most of the major transmitters in the brain. Dr. Ivan Goldberg thinks that combination is possibly as effective as ECT.
Addendum: You must get to 375mg of Effexor to target dopamine, as well as serotonin and norepinephrine; Remeron is more tolerable at doses of 30-45 mg rather than lower doses (I'm talking about sedation and weight gain). I never had any side-effects from the combination.
