So you would characterize your problems as OCD + ADD + depression, right? What would be the order of severity? What are the symptoms you assign to the "depression" component?
Do have you any health problems other than the high histamine levels that would be complicating your picture?
What's your diet and Pfeiffer treatment package like?
With those questions out of the way, here's what comes to my mind on the "first pass":
I look at Remeron on SLS's chart and see 5HT and NE antagonisms. I would think that aggravates the OCD and ADD and maybe the depression as well. I don't see a rationale for taking it.
I would be thinking about Effexor at a stiff dose, 5HT-RI for the OCD component and NE-RI for the ADD component. Have you tried it? If you suffer from psychomotor retardation and anenergia from the depressive component, then you'd probably want dopamine action too. A real high Effexor dose will provide a bit of DA-RI.
