In reply to remeron and anafranil combo?, posted by caroline on April 3, 2000, at 16:00:50
Caroline,
Remeron+Anafranil certainly sounds like a go-ahead combination to me. For most people the combo would be way too sedating. But for you it sounds like it could work very well. The Remeron will stimulate serotonin and norepinephrine, while the Anafranil will inhibit the reuptake of both of them (bias toward serotonin), resulting in an increase of serotonin and norepinephrine activity from two different and distinct modes of action. Try it and see. Remeron has few drug-drug interactions, so I don't see any problem at all other than the possibility of new side effects, which may or may not prove to be bothersome. No way to find out without trying. It does appear safe though, and makes sense based on your past responses to both of these meds.
