One peice of advice from experience. Pdocs do not like treating patients that change meds and dosages around at their own discretion. One pdoc, who in my opinion was absolutely awful at treating my condition, told me that he no longer wanted to see me because I liked to do things my own way. The funny thing is if I had waited around for him to wake up and become a pdoc I might lay in a casket right now.
Augmenting the prozac with remeron is an effective augmentation strategy. The only problem is that when you run out of remeron you will have to tell your pdoc or doc that you decided to do things on your own.
If it was me though, I would begin augmenting with 15mg remeron at night.
One more thing, I always took it in my own hands to make a change when I thought necessary. And you know what? I never made a change that was detrimental to my health because I made sure that I did the research first. Like I mentioned above, if I would have flown straight and only done what my pdocs prescribed I can guarantee you that I would have killed myself.
Pdocs to me are the one's that have the prescription pads and the one's that stand in the way of my recieving adequate dosages to treat my chronic condition.
Ayways, good luck!
