I'm taking both and am grateful that I feel better! I don't like the weight gain which I think is mostly from the Remeron. I had weird fears at first too, but that last a couple of days and now are totally gone. They really helped.

I've experienced a HUGE amount of anxiety and strange sensations that I've found unnerving (as usual, these sensations are almost impossible to put into words and describe effectively). I also have been taking Xanax on an as needed basis (which has been very rarely), however, I find that I am now taking up to 1 mg. a day to relax - and that barely has an effect (normally that much would have put me immediately to sleep...)
