Interesting read, but Remeron has done nothing for my anxiety or panic, as far as that goes, neither has Clonazepam. It's just barely keeping it at a level where I can function.

that's no good... did you try the maximum dose or have you only been on it a couple weeks?

Hi;

Been on Remeron, 30 mg for 7 mos, and Clonazepam .50 x 2/day for about 4 mos. My psydoc won't increase either.

You're on too much Remeron. Decrease it in 7.5mg increments to 15mg/day. You'll benefit from the reduced effects on noradrenaline. You could try taking DHEA supplements. It doesn't take a ton of Remeron to block 5-HT2 receptors.
