I have extensive experience with remeron (mirtazapine) and take it alongside Effexor.
As far as core depression symptoms, remeron can be remarkably effective. It can be very sedating, but there are ways to offset this. A few studies suggest it can work faster than other antidepressants, although is not as well tolerated.
It produces a very different side effect profile than SSRIs. It can mix very well with drugs like Effexor.
I would take remeron over olanzapine any day. It has similar effects on sleep and anxiety, but doesn't leave you feeling quite as blah.
Your mileage may vary, of course.
