Stahl (PG) on how MIRTAZAPINE works:
Boost neurotransmitters serotonin and
norepinephrine/noradrenaline
Blocks alpha 2 adrenergic presynaptic
receptor, thereby increasing norepinephrine
neurotransmission
Blocks alpha 2 adrenergic presynaptic
receptor on serotonin neurons
(heteroreceptors), thereby increasing
serotonin neurotransmission
This is a novel mechanism independent of
norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake
blockade
Blocks 5HT2A, 5HT2C, and 5HT3 serotonin
receptors
Blocks H1 histamine receptors
