Well, it doesn't look encouraging for Remeron if you've taken it for three weeks with no benefits. Still, if as you say, you can tolerate it, many say the sedation goes away at 30mgs. I tried 30 for the better part of 2 months, and I felt more sedated at 30 than 15. You might get lucky. No harm in trying it I guess.
Have you tried mood stabilizers, or anti-psychoctics, or some kind of Dopamine agonist.
Seems you've tried the SSRIs etc. It might be time to try something a little outside the box.
Truth be told, I'm thinking I need to do likewise. I've ordered some Adrafinil, which should arrive within the next week or so. With so many med failures though, it's hard to get your hopes up too high for any particular one. The good thing is that there're a lot of them out there, so hopefully you and I will happen upon something that works. God, I hope so.
