Ravenstorm,
Have you given Lamictal, which I believe is used as a mood stabilizer, any consideration? I think it is supposed to have some antidepressant qualities, and may be good to augment a small dose of Remeron. Also, and excuse me if I missed something, but is the reason you don't want to go back to Paxil due to the fact that you had such an awful time withdrawing from it?

My stomach is just so weak. I was using chromium picolinate and it did work on blood sugar, but had stomach upset with it (but not anywhere near as bad as the others) and it also seemed to affect my mood, which I didn't put together with the picolinate until I read some studies out of Berkley and the UK that picolinate can affect neurotransmitters and can also cause chromosomal damage. They were adamant about not using picolinate.
