> Remeron is probably more therapeutic than Nortryptaline.
I don't know how you came to this conclusion, but I don't think Remeron is generally as effective as nortriptyline. I am basing this on observation and not statistics.
I know that it was initially thought that mianserin was more effective than imipramine, but I think that idea has not been verified in many years of clinical usage. I think the same has been observed with Remeron.

"Results: For mirtazapine, remission rates were 12.3% and 8.0% per the Hamilton and QIDS-SR16 scores, respectively. For nortriptyline, remission rates were 19.8% and 12.4%, respectively."
