I went from being a wreck to near remission on Remeron in a week, but it also started to poop out. Combining it with effexor xr seemed to do the trick. I noticed a surge of energy, jitters, and constipation with each dose increase of remeron and/or venlafaxine xr. I assume those were side-effects of increased levels of NE. It would go away after a few days, but overall the energy and interest I seem to get from the combination works for me.
I tried reducing remeron, but I felt a bit flat. I'm not sure what it is doing now, but it seems to work synergistically with the effexor xr. I also take Seroquel, only 100mg, and that also helps brighten things up a bit as well as knocking me out cold every night. I tried reducing it to 50mg, but again felt a bit flat. I definitely need something that affects norepinephrine levels.
