I don't think I could suggest any that you aren't already aware of. What I've done in the past is just do a search on Remeron and go explore everything that comes up. And then I go to a different search engine and do it again. A lot of the same stuff comes up, but also different stuff. Some search engines have stuff others don't. For example I might find different informational pieces of whatever topic at GoTo, Excite, Alta Vista, etc. Alta Vista in particular seems to have more abstract hard to find stuff that isn't found on the other search engines. I searched high and low for information on Adrafinil and could find hardly anything until I tried Alta Vista.Ivan Goldberg's Depression Central is a good place to scout around too. But my favorite place of all is Dr Bob's Tips section.
I've spent the most time though at mentalhealth.com. There you can go to the research section and read abstracts of just about anything that's ever been put into literature concerning any medication or disorder. Some medications aren't listed though. What I discovered is that I can erase whatever medication is already in the search box, type in the one I want, and bingo. Search can be refined more specific by using AND or OR. For example, remeron AND sexual, remeron OR mirtazapine, etc. When I was having so much trouble with anhedonia, I went to mentalhealth.com research section and typed anhedonia in the search box. I discovered there were clues and links between anhedonia and norepinephrine and/or dopamine. Abstracts on tricyclics, stimulants, and antipsychotics kept coming up. Thus my journey away from the usual SSRIs began.
I get the feeling I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. Anyway, cool project and best wishes to you!
John
