Just wondering why many doctors (I was just reading Dr. Heller's site too) feel that Remeron seems to be more of an "augmentation"-type drug...they'll say that it is a very useful drug but that it seems to work better as an add-on rather than a stand-alone drug in many/most cases....is it 'too weak' as an anti-dep/anti-anxiety/anti-ocd med to do the whole job on it's own? I know it's awesome for some but it doesn't seem to be in the "top" of it's class? Just wondering.....

In reply to Remeron......is it a second-rate drug?, posted by McPac on May 28, 2003, at 17:32:30
Yes, it does have that reputation. Remeron can be extremely effective for a smaller range of people.
It does have troublesome effects on start up. For those taking these drugs for the first time, horrible start up effects can turn a patient against treatment.I personally didn't find it as effective as Celexa but from the feel of it, I can imagine those who might.
