A member asked:
What type of antidepressant is mirtazapine ?.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Remeron (mirtazapine): It was developed to treat MAJOR Depression - especially the type that often caused patients to refuse food. It is different from the SSRI and SSNRI variations, but it does impact serotonin so it can increase risk of serotonin syndrome if combined or if abruptly stopped. It's a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA). Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirtazapine Best!
