When the house gets too hot, the thermostat shuts off the heater. Likewise when the brain gets too much norepinephrine the alpha-2 receptors shut off norepinephrine release. Remeron blocks the alpha-2 receptors, this is like turning up the thermostat so that the heater shuts off at a higher temperature.
Effexor warms things up via a different route. Effexor causes the hot air to recyle through the house. Effexor is a reputake inhibitor, this is like taking all hot air that is leaving the house and allowing it another pass throug the house.
So when you take effexor and remeron together, things can get really hot, cause you're simultainiously turning up the thermostat and recycling all hot air that leaves the house.I know that may not be any easier to understand :)
