Any bipolars taking Remeron out there?

I think Remeron may be useful for bipolar based on my knowledge of 5-HT2 antagonism. I haven't done any research yet, but I will not forgot the bipolars. I have been trying to figure out depression, schizophrenia (I think I've got that one nailed down shut), fibromyalgia, and anxiety disorders. My reasoning behind my thinking that Remeron may be useful for bipolars is the effectiveness of mixing SSRI's and drugs like Zyprexa for bipolar disorder. I would argue that the effects of Zyprexa on dopamine are unnecessary and often lead to side effects. What Remeron and Zyprexa share in common is 5-HT2 antagonism. You also get the good effects of SSRI's with Remeron without a lot of the bad effects. I can sympathize with you about having to take meds, but I foresee a day not too far in the future when you'll only have to take one every day. Beyond that, gene therapy is looking more and more promising every day. You don't have chronic fatigue syndrome by the way; it is the depression. After the initial drowsiness caused by Remeron, you will probably feel more alert and less tired. I'll repost the link if you can't find it.
