Antidepressant Meds: Mirtazapine (Remeron) is a noradrenergic / serotonergic antidepressant medication. Prozac is a serotonergic antidepressant. Often antidepressant choice is related to side effect profile, specific symptoms of depression & effectiveness for the particular patient. I often chose Remeron if I am looking for a sedative response.
