But actually, there is no proof of increased clinical efficacy with Remeron in doses over 15mg (decreased side-effects, yes). This is something that few people know (http://www.preskorn.com/cgi-bin/sp.pl?words=mirtazapine&wt=be&bl=an&d=/columns/0003.html). So if you can just get to 15 mg, you might have a chance to make it out of depression with Remeron alone.
