In reply to SP: Should I add Remeron to Effexor XR?, posted by utopizen on October 10, 2002, at 13:45:25
Effexor is used for generalized anxiety, and Remeron is used for anxiety and somatization. That Remeron may give you much sedation (increased histamines) at the low dose of 15 mg. You have to go to 30-45 mg to overcome that. But my guess is that the Effexor will work after a month at either 75mg/day or 150 mg/day. I went up to 225mg/day with Effexor XR (single dosing). The Remeron is said to be weak compared to Effexor.
