My guess that its withdrawal from the Remeron that's causing most of your probs now. I had an extremely hard time the first time I withdrew. My doc suggested a taper schedule of only three weeks coming down from 45mg. The first symptom of withdrawal was slight hypomania, then increased anxiety/irritability and sleep disruption, then lower mood affect, then finally GI issues. I actually think it's up there with Effexor in needing to withdrawal from it cautiously, although most docs don't always echo these concerns. A low dose cross-taper onto Prozac helped alleviate most of the issues.
