Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Remeron is an antidepressant , it increases the activity of norepinephrine and serotonin.Paxil is in the SSRI family and acts to increase the levels of serotonin.
In some cases of resistant depression or anxiety multiple medications are used.
It would be best to speak to your doctor before discontinuing any of the medications because they may have to tapered off in a specific way.
I hope this helps
