None: There is nothing in Mirtazapine pharmacologically that acts on the mu receptor which is where narcotics site of action is. It is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (nassa).

None: Remeron (mirtazapine) is not a narcotic. It is a tricyclic antidepressant not an opiate (narcotic). If you're experiencing drowsiness, this is one of the side effects which is why it's taken at night.
