Very nice combo! At what dose of Anafranil do you want to go?Indeed ,Remeron seems like a clever addon thru his 5ht2a, 2c and 3 antagonism to any SRI or SSRI.I particulary did well always with Anafranil, it was/is miraculous for me.Tried this combo for a week or so many years ago but unfortunately I don't remember how it was or how i felt.I suppose that were sugar cravings and some sedation.At that time i was super sensitive to psychotropic meds and very inconsistent with sticking with a treatment.Good luck, looking forward for your progress :)!
