I replied to your thread a couple weeks ago, but wanted to add that Cymbalta (like Effexor, both are SNRIs) is synergistic with Remeron. Cymbalta blocks the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine. Remeron promotes the release of serotonin and norepinephrine. This is theoretically a powerful combo, providing a "double boost" of both serotonin and norepinephrine. I hope you find something that works.

Are you currently experiencing any side effects from the Lexapro or Remeron?
