Chemist,
Please check out this website that addresses Remeron use with MAOI.
http://www.currentpsychiatry.com/2002_06/06_02_maoi.asp
"Trazodone is frequently employed as a remedy for MAOI-induced insomnia.19 Mirtazapine can be used safely in combination with MAOIs, and the agent has been reported to acutely treat serotonin syndrome.20"
Check out footnote 20. Citation for quoted statement regarding Remeron use with MAOI.
I have also used for only one night taking 22.5mg Remeron. I took Remeron before Ace. Refer to posts between Ace and myself. I am currently taking 60mg of Nardil. I temporarily stopped taking the Remeron because I am in the tail end of home detox from Oxy and wanted to wait until I was totally Oxy free which will be in 4 to 5 weeks. I was on 160mg of Oxy and am down to 40mg tapering down by 20mg every two weeks. However, for each 20mg Oxy I stop taking, I added 30mg Tylenol Codeine. Eventually, I will be on 240mg Tylenol Codeine daily only. Prior to taking Oxy which I have been taking over 2 years, I was on Codeine for over 5 years, and did not suffer withdrawals ,like I did on Oxy, which I accidently experienced when I ran out of Oxy prematurely. With Codeine, I could go without for a day, week, or month without experiencing dts. Home detox was setup by my pain doc.

> panda, check out Behav. Brain Res. 136:521-532 (2002), where in a rat forced swimming test, ``...chronic but not subacute-mirtazapine increases swimming behaviour,'' which is apparently a ``yes'' for mirtazapine being a selective serotonin reuptake-inhibitor...(i was unaware that selective noradrenaline reuptake-inhibitors increase climbing behaviour of rats, i learn something new every day)....anyhow, this is as good as i can come to it, and again, Ace's experiment with nardil+remeron being a pleasant one, i'll cede! all the best, chemist
