Oh, of course -- especially the atypicals but even the old line ones have 5HT blockades in the same way that Remeron does. Now I wouldn't use them long term as an antidepressant but it explains why their adjunctive use with SSRIs help depression and anxiety. But as a short term boost, definately -- I felt it early on with Zyprexa.
