LOL @ "california atomic rocket fuel" :D
I am swapping from Remeron to Nortriptyline.Mirtazapine(Remeron) is a:
1. POTENT antihistamine (strongest on the market)
2. Moderate 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, 5-HT3 antagonist.
3. Mild A-2 antagonist.
4. Weak A-1 & M-1 antagonist.Nortriptyline(Pamelor, Eli Lily's main AD before Prozac) is a:
1. Mild antihistamine
2. Moderate 5-HT2A antagonist.
3. Mild A-2 antagonist.
4. Moderate A-1 & M-1 antagonist.
5. Strong NE Reuptake inhibitor.I am hoping for a motivation boost from NE reuptake & I am hoping for the constipation side effect from M-1 blockade to counter the diarrhoea I have. I won't miss the H1 blocakde & I still think 5-HT2A blockade is the bees knees. :)
Cheers,
Panda.
