currently taking 75mg effexor and 150mg wellbutrin.
I'd like to try adding remeron. Is this safe? Anyone have experience with this combo?
I was going to start at 1/2 of a 45mg tablet.
Thank you.

You wrote the above.
Now your question as to if the drugs mentioned will be {safe together}, depends upon what chances you are willing to take. And then, what is the payday that you expect by taking that chance.
Now if one's life is dependant upon taking a drug, which means that they will die if they do not take the chance in taking the drug, then I do think that one in that situation would be wise to take any drug that has the potential to save one's life. But are we really dealing with a life or death situation here in that one needs to take mind-altering drugs that have the potential to induce a mind-altered state to compel one to kill themselves and/or others and even commit mass-murder? And do you really think that putting chemicals in your nervous system that can go to your brain and other organs are what one needs to overcome depression and/or addiction? Do you know that the drugs together could kill you? Is that safe? And what about the safety of others if the drugs could induce a rage state and compel you to kill others? And are you not just drawing cards out of a deck when you take these chemicals, for others here say that what "works" for them does not mean that it will "work" for you, whatever "works" mean. And could you not draw the Joker?
I say to you, that if you read the admin board here that you could see outstanding requests from me to Mr. Hsiung that IMHO if those requests were answered, there could be information that could mark the difference between saving your life or without the information, you could die.
I ask you, take the time to read those posts on the admin board and see if there is or is not an indoctrinmation goin' on here because there is something prohibited from being posted here by me. The prohibition of facts can lead one astray, for what illumination the prohibited facts could give to people is blacked out. And then the path one walks is darkened, and stumbleing can happen. And one could fall off a cliff in their darkness of ignorance. If you want to know if your drugs are safe, then I ask you to ask your doctor to email me and then I could explain to your prescriber what he/she is doing to you by giving you these chemicals to take and what could happen to you. I could tell your doctor where these drugs came from and by who and for what and their connnection to mass-murder and psychiatry. Then your doctor could tell you.

No experience but pretty sure it's safe a call to your pharmacist and he/she could let you know. Or try med checker. Phillipa

I think you'll be perfectly fine working with that combination. Mirtazapine is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant and is also structurally a tetracyclic. Effexor is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and Wellbutrin works througgh norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibition. I beleive Mirtazapine will boost the effects of the Wellbutrin and Effexor.

Lou, you appear to be one of those anti-medication closed minded individuals.
I hate to break it to you but not everyone whom suffers from depression or anxiety has a mild case which they can pull themselves out of. Many of us have clinical conditions.
I Would Be Dead Without Medication. Stop brining up in so many of your posts how someone ''might'' become a mass murderer by taking anti-depressants. The mass suicide which occurs every year on the other hand is a far more tangible matter to address.
Some people need to be medicated. Every organ of the body can have illness including the most crucial of all... the human brain.
When you try to constantly discourage people from taking medications you are causing far more harm than any perceived notions of ''good''. You hopefully one day can accept the fact that you are wrong.
Yes I know how many horrible side effects there can be from anti-dep medications, but you know what... some people cannot function without them. I am one of those people. I am alive because of anti-depressants.

I don't have much faith in remeron, but for those that do, the combo looks like a good one. It's called California Rocketful, except with the addition of wellbutrin in this case. I think I would have favored nortriptyline or savella added to the mix, rather than remeron, but your combo does have a good reputation.
