It really could be any-one of the two.
Remeron *can* cause irritability as it did
in me. But, if you are bipolar you may also
be destabalized.IF you are otherwise satisfied with remeron then you could try raising your lithium dose.
Personally I find that antidepressants and lithium don't mix. You see, lithium has direct effects on lowering/raising certain neurotransmitters themselves.
It seems that when I take the two (lithium and Celexa) they are banging heads with eachother. One pushing me up and the other pulling me down.
For this reason you may try depakote - an effective mood stabalizer, particularly helpful for anger. It may also mix better with AD's because by it doesn't directly effect serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine itself.
Good Luck
