Have you got melancholic depression ie: insomnia & no appetite? If so I think you would do much better on the older TCA type AD's such as Clomipramine or Amitriptyline. What meds have you been on in the past & had success with?
I think Remeron is a great sleeping pill, but only an average AD suitable. I actually take Effexor as my main AD & Remeron for sleep.
