There are a number of things you can do. You've already mentioned adding a new antidepressant. Of the one's you've listed perhaps Wellbutrin would be your best choice since it tends to be energizing and may help you to concentrate.
The problem with adding a new antidepressant is that it can take several weeks to find out if it does anything good for you. Another avenue to explore is augmentation of your remeron with something more fast acting like ritalin, some form of amphetamine, or modafinil. If they are helpful for you you'll find out fairly quickly. Similarly you could try adding an AP like, zyprexa, risperdal, seroquel, or geodon. APs tend to be sedating, but will often work in less than a week, if they are going to work.
Just some suggestions.
Feel Better,
Britt
