Remeron is not pro-convulsant. Show me a study that says so, but I don't think you'll find one. Here's why Remeron might be beneficial for seizures: via serotonin-2a blockade, dopamine levels are increased in the mPFC region of the brain. Dopamine is a natural anti-convulsant. Additionally Remeron has not been shown to have no effect in vivo on serotonin levels in the any part of the brain. It also, via blockade of alpha-2 adrenergic receptors increases DA further and NE in the mPFC region of the brain.
Effexor on the other hand...Justin
