i read that not much study has been done on Remeron and its interactions.Alcohol, diazepam (Valium) and the MAOIs (at least concurrently for 14 days) are to be avoided as they increase psychomotor impairment.
"Drug Interactions"
In vitro mirtazapine is a less potent inhibitor of CYP450 isoenzymes than are SSRIs, but in vivo clinical data are sparse. Use of mirtazapine with CNS depressants (e.g. alcohol, diazepam) may cause additive psychomotor impairement due to pharmacodynamic interactions."......
You might get more information by going to a description guide for the drug:
