Hypnagogic hallucinations are associated with narcolepsy and not with psychosis. They are effectively treated with TCA's, but buspirone also helps, so I think that they occur due to a deficit in monoaminergic, and reciprocal overactivity of cholinergic, neurotransmission ( while cholinergic enhancers induce them more than any other class of med).

If buspirone works, I don't see why remeron wouldn't. Of course I'm wary of changing ANY element of a med regime that is literally life-changing for me- I was virtually paralyzed by years of severe depression and ADD, anxiety, etc. The dry mouth and constipation are getting difficult to handle though, and I think the Remeron might work as a substitution for buspirone and nortriptyline.
