Of course, there is the "California Rocket Fuel" strategy of combining Remeron with Effexor. As appealing as the name of this treatment is, I don't see people using it. I favor SNRI + Wellbutrin + Abilify if monotherapy has been ineffective. If bipolar depression is suspected, you can try using Lamictal in place of, or in addition to, the SNRI.

how does lamictal work?
My thought process was abilify to increase dopamine.
Wellbutrin for norheprine
and remeron for anxiety (since it blocks a lot of serotonin receptors and has an effect on the amygdala I belive I have an overactive amygdala with overactive serotonin receptors and because many ppl say remeron helps with anxiety)
