I am so sorry to hear that you have such terrible anxiety even on Remeron. I have anxiety too, especially social anxiety, and both Remeron and Paxil have helped with that. I also take Klonopin which is also a benzo and it is great for anxiety and tenseness. If the SSRI's are making you manic, have you been diagnosed as Bi-polar? Certain AD's can trigger the manic phase when there has never been one present, so although your doctor may have ethought you just had major depression, you may actually have bi-polar or Bi polarII which is a milder mania.
Just some thoughts to consider. I am switching from Remeron to Wellbutrin because of the weight gain. Wellbutrin for some decreases anxiety, and I am finding that taking the Wellbutrin with klonopin and the Remeron is uplifting, not anxiety producing.
