It can be a good augmenting agent.
The theraputic action of SSRI's is thought to arise from activation of the 5-ht1a receptor, which seems to confer the antianxiety and antidepressant effect in animal studies at least.
Since remeron does not block this receptor, it would hopefully not compltetely cancel out the action of an SSRI.
