Effexor is a common mixer with Remeron. I think it's sometimes called "California Rocket Fuel" - google that ;)
From p290 "Stephen M. Stahl - Essential Psychopharmacology.pdf" :
"Heroic combo 1, or "California rocket fuel": High-dose venlafaxine plus mirtazapine.
This is a combination of antidepressants that has a great degree of theoretical synergy: reuptake
blockade plus alpha 2 blockade; serotonin reuptake plus 5HT2A antagonism; 5HT actions plus NE
actions. Specifically, 5HT is triple-boosted, with reuptake blockade, alpha 2 antagonism, and 5HT2A
antagonism; NE is double-boosted, with reuptake blockade plus alpha 2 antagonism; and there may
even be a bit of single boost to DA from reuptake blockade."BTW, this PDF book is widely available from P2P networks. The book talks about a lot of other combos too.
