Hi.
I'm glad that you are getting some sleep. I'll be interested to know what your doctor prescribes to improve the quality of your sleep.
> Right now I'm not sure how Remeron and Seroquel are interacting with Effexor. Before Seroquel I tried dropping Remeron to 15mg and felt a slow but steady drop in mood. At least on paper, Seroquel does a lot of what Remeron does, and so along with venlafaxine may complete the (New Wave) California Rocket Fuel combo that seems to have lifted me out of the depression. The only problem is getting a good night's rest.
Seroquel does not antagonize NE alpha2 receptors as does Remeron. I don't think there is enough overlap between the two drugs so as to call them equivalent in the California Rocket Fuel regime.
