hi. in the US, remeron is often used with other Rx drugs. wellbutrin+remeron, an ssri+remeron, effexor+remeron (that's "california rocket fuel," apparently...), etc. in the US, the tendency is to use somewhat lower doses than are (were?) popular in the EU, for whatever reason(s).
If you and your doctor(s) opt for a tca, are you sure you want to settle on Elavil? Tofranil, vivactil, even...surmontil...there are plenty of tca drugs still on the market, and I think the adverse effect profile of some of them might be better in your situation than good ole elavil. but i could be wrong, obviously.
one treatment I saw...was using a sustained release stimulant in combination with remeron. never known anyone on that combination, but the idea was to enhance the ad action (and help sedation and fatigue) with a stimulant and then improve sleep and anxiety with the remeron. wellbutrin+remeron might be somewhat similar (?).
have you been prescribed modafanil or anything to help w/ fatigue? i dont think its addictive or anything, its just...an option some people seem to benefit from, so i thought id mention it.
hope things get better for you.
