Hi Janelle,
When I tried Remeron 1 1/2 yrs. ago, somewhere in my usual research of the *most recent* AD I'm perpetually auditioning, I seem to remember Remeron being listed as an SNRI: meaning, I believe, Selective Norepenephrine Re-uptake Inhibitor. As opposed to SSRI's: selective Serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, such as Prozac.

Incidentally, it was great for anxiety, I never slept better in my life (30 mgs.), I was not any more drowsy than usual during the day, but I had a non-stop compulsion to eat, and it did nothing for my depression, motivation, vigilance, etc.
So, I became a calm, cool, overweight vegetative depressive, not exactly a success story. Added on Welbutrin, but, no marked change.

Luck to u~nightlight
