Dear LL,
You might be greatly helped by adding lithium to your Remeron. It acts as an augmentor, helps with anxiety and smooths things out alot. The fact that you're having anger and irritability as well as anxiety suggests that you might have a bit of bipolar disorder. That was the case for me and I found lithium made Remeron work much better on much lower dosage. In fact, adding a mood stabiliser to an antidepressant is a good idea in general. I think you might find that going up to too high a dose with the Rem would not help your anxiety. Lithium in a smaller dose than is usually given for bipolar (I was taking 600mg) does not make you sleepy or have any other ill effect, at least in my experience.
