There's another thread titled "Remeron for treatment resistant depression" you'd find interesting:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20090416/msgs/891271.html
Completely unscientific I know, but I don't think any of the posters found it useful for TRD.
Any claims of it having serotonergic action are pretty dubious, but I guess if your depression is all about norepinephrine (with accompanying anorexia and insomnia!) it could work.

Hesitated before due to weight gain issues, but everything I've read (Stahl's pharmacology books, most notably) talk about how effective Remeron is for moderate-to-severe depression.
