I would say that trimipramine and doxapin are more effective sleep aids than remeron. Remeron is good, but trimipramine is probably more effective (haven taken both).
The real reason that they are not used as often? They are older medications. It is similar to schizophrenia medications. A study a few years back showed that the newer antipsychotics are no more effective than the older ones - and they had increased risk of metabolic side effects. So why are older, better, cheaper medications not used? Perception - and heavy money from the drug industry.
