What is
Mirtazepine? |
|
Mirtazepine is a medication that was
approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
the treatment of depression in June 1997. Mirtazepine
was the first drug in a new class of antidepressants
with a unique ability to target specific serotonin
receptors. Along with its efficacy in the treatment of
moderate to severe depression, Mirtazepine has proven to
be effective for treating anxiety, motor retardation,
and cognitive and sleep disturbances associated with
depression. |

Mirtazepine
interaction |
|
Mirtazepine does not cause problematic interactions with
most other drugs and it is frequently prescribed in
combination with other antidepressants. Use of other
drugs that cause drowsiness (antihistamines,
prescription painkillers, Valium, Xanax) may increase
this effect and impair driving or other motor or
coordination skills. Use with central nervous system
stimulants (Fastin, Dexedrine, Ritalin) may cause an
increase in agitation or even mania, especially in
bipolar patients. |
|
|
|
Immunocompromised consumers, consumers with HIV, and
consumers on steroid therapy should call their physician
at the first sign of sore throat, fever, chills, sores
in and around the soft tissue of the mouth, or any
general flu-like symptoms. |
