In your shoes, with the benefit of hindsight, I would simply substitute Zyprexa in place of Remeron. I could go on and on about why I feel this way, and there is a ton of research to back it up.I too felt the same kind of subtle improvement as you with Remeron in the mix, and I still had some dips, like you, but when I changed to Zyprexa instead of Remeron, a whole new world opened up for me. The two drugs feel similar in a lot of ways, except that Zyprexa has a much broader effect on dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin than does Remeron. In your case, you could keep the Effexor where it is, possibly reduce Lamictal dosage, and add 5mg Zyprexa at dinner time. No Remeron.
