Ace,
Maybe you can track down the footnote* regarding Remeron being used with MAOI.
*20. Hoes MJ, Zeijpveld JH. Mirtazapine as a treatment for serotonin syndrome. Pharmacopsychiatry 1996;29(2):81.
You don't think it is a good idea for me to take Remeron for insomnia? I have a pdoc apmt with a new pdoc (I fired the last one) and will ask him if he will rx Trazodone, or, if it is advisable to take Remeron for insomnia SE of Nardil.
