> Are increased norepinephrine levels bad for OCD?
> Read that Doc Amen thought Remeron was a good drug for ocd with add.....I know Remeron has worked for some ocd'ers but IF Rem increases NE (and it does, part. at higher levels, though at which dose I'd LOVE to know, anybody?) and IF (I say IF) NE is bad for ocd'ers, I don't know how Rem could work for ocd?Where did you come up with Amen recommending Remeron for OCD!?

Also look at my back and forth with Francesco. On SLS's chart Remeron is a 5HT and NE *antagonist*. 5HT antagonism would seem to be contraindicated!
