You might have something known as Multiple Chemical Sensativities, but only a doctor could tell you if that was your true diagnosis.
You will eventually develop a tolerance to Remeron if you take it regularly, and of course, higher doses of Remeron means less side-effects according to clinical lore. But actually, there is no proof of increased clinical efficacy with Remeron in doses over 15mg (decreased side-effects, yes). This is something that few people know (http://www.preskorn.com/cgi-bin/sp.pl?words=mirtazapine&wt=be&bl=an&d=/columns/0003.html). So if you can just get to 15 mg, you might have a chance to make it out of depression with Remeron alone.
Or you could just switch to a more stimulating antidepressant like venlafaxine, buproprion, selegiline, or tranylcypromine.
Good luck.
