> I should not taking any tricyclics because I had a heart operation. My electrocardiogramm could be a problem with the tricyclics (sometimes they increase the QT-time).

That's true: tricyclics can be dangerous for people with certain cardiac conditions. MAOIs used to be the ADs of choice for people who couldn't take tricyclics because of cardiovascular disease. Since the newer ADs don't seem to be helpful for you, MAOIs might be worth a try.

One thing about Remeron: it tends to be less sedating at higher doses. If you didn't do this before, you might try starting it at 30 mg.
