> Hello, i want to add an ssri, to remeron. I understand remeron blocks the seratonin 5ht2 receptors, but my mood isnt that great. Can i add a small doseof an ssri (5ht1a)and benefit more from such.

Geno,I have not seen Remeron used by itself yet. It is meant to be used in conjunction with an SSRI. So is Buspar. Alone, they are not as effective. I take Celexa with Buspar now. I was thinking of asking my doctor to let me add Remeron too, because the 3 together are supposed to have a great synergistic effect, especially for those with high anxiety issues, aggravated by the SSRI's. I did not ask for the Remeron though, because I don't want an increased appetite. I would definitely add an SSRi to it though if I were you. Good luck.
Frankie.
