A member asked:
Can any part of mirtazapine be considered an anticholinergenic like benadryl (diphenhydramine)? trying to avoid them because of possibility of dementia and impairment.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Comments: Mirtazepine has fewer anticholinergic effects than benadryl, (diphenhydramine) but nonetheless, these are present. You need to be aware that most common medications in numerous classes have some anticholinergic issues, but the extent is typically tolerable in most.
