But adding remeron could "fuel" the effexor, and the combo can be very effective in hard to treat depression problems. For me, the combo was Paxil and remeron. Paxil alone helped a little, adding the remeron did the trick, pulled me out of a very deep depression. But remember, this is without alcohol...when i would drink, even with the remeron and paxil i would go down hill fast! To me, outside of the MAOI's (Parnate and Nardil) Remeron is the best ad i've ever been on, and i've been on nearly all of them. You will have to be aggressive on your husbands behalf, because in his current state he cannot help himself. Don't give up on him. Best of luck.
