How Remeron Soltab Affects Patients

Mirtazapine is used to treat moderate to severe depression and associated symptoms, such as disturbed sleep, lack of appetite, and anhedonia. It is important to note that taking mirtazapine may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, particularly in younger people. It should not be given to children. This drug can boost appetite and reduce nausea in cancer patients. It may also improve eating habits and help with weight gain in people with anorexia nervosa. It causes drowsiness, so it can be used to treat insomnia.

How Remeron Soltab works in the body

Mirtazapine works by increasing levels of both noradrenaline and serotonin in the brain. This helps to improve symptoms of depression. Mirtazapine also blocks serotonin 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors, which can make you feel more relaxed. It also blocks alpha 1 adrenergic receptors, which can cause low blood pressure and drowsiness. Finally, it may help to reduce pain by blocking opioid receptors.

Remeron Soltab Toxicity & Overdose Risk

The lethal dose of mirtazapine in male mice is 830mg/kg. Overdosing can be treated with activated charcoal and general supportive care. If a person has overdosed on mirtazapine with other drugs, they should contact a poison control center. Taking mirtazapine at higher than normal doses may increase the risk of liver or thyroid tumors in mice, but it is unclear how this would affect humans. Mirtazapine may also affect fertility and result in dead fetuses in rats. Pregnant women should only take mirtazapine if the benefits outweigh the potential risks,

Remeron Soltab Reviews: What are patients saying about Remeron Soltab?

Patient Review

5/8/2010

Remeron Soltab for Depression

I've been using this medication for 10 months to help with my depression. It's helped somewhat, but I really don't like the weight gain that came along with it (over 10 pounds). Additionally, the drowsy feelings that used to help me sleep are gone now. So, I'll be looking for a different medication.

Remeron Soltab for Posttraumatic Stress Syndrome

In the 40 years that I've been depressed, this has by far been the best medication I've ever taken. Not only does it help with my depression, but it also gives me an appetite and helps me sleep.

Patient Review

11/29/2011

Remeron Soltab for Major Depressive Disorder

I've found that this medication is most effective when taken for at least 4-6 weeks. It's helped me sleep really well, which is great because other medications (SSRIs) can have negative effects on sleep quality.

Patient Review

Remeron Soltab for Major Depressive Disorder

I've been on 37.5 mg for six months now, and it has definitely helped me sleep better and feel less depressed. I haven't noticed any negative changes in my weight or sex drive, so all in all I'm very pleased with this medication.

Patient Review

7/24/2017

Remeron Soltab for Depression

At first, this medication was effective in curbing my suicidal thoughts. However, they eventually returned--likely because the drug caused me to gain 40 pounds. I ate healthily and worked out regularly but saw no change in my weight. As a result, I'm changing to a different medication.

Remeron Soltab for Depression

I've been taking this for years and it helps me sleep, though I'm also on other antidepressants so I can't say how much this one contributes. The weight gain has been frustrating, to say the least; however, I would rather deal with that than chronic insomnia.

Ann Arbor, MI

This trial explores the use of immersive virtual reality (VR) nature-based experiences as a supplementary treatment for depression in individuals with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). This study will evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of at-home VR deployment using the Apple Vision Pro, an advanced device that offers enhanced resolution, immersion, and usability compared to earlier VR systems. The study hypotheses include: * The integration of VR nature-based experiences with standard care will be feasible, acceptable, and will result in greater reductions in depressive symptoms compared to standard care or VR-only interventions. * The integration of VR nature-based experiences with standard care will result in greater reductions in stress and anxiety, better sleep, less insomnia, and improved fatigue compared to standard care alone or VR-only interventions.

Pharmacogenomic-Guided Medication Management for Depression

18+
All Sexes
Pittsburgh, PA

The goal of this prospective, randomized clinical trial is to learn whether pharmacogenomic (PGx)-guided comprehensive medication management delivered by pharmacists in community pharmacies will improve antidepressant treatment outcomes. The primary aim is to determine whether comprehensive medication management with review of PGx testing results improves depression symptoms, compared with usual care. Participants 18 years of age or older who have undergone PGx testing (e.g. through an independent biobanking study (Pitt+Me Discovery) who require initiation or adjustment of antidepressant therapy will be randomly assigned to receive either PGx-guided comprehensive medication management or usual care. Those who receive usual care will receive their PGx results at the end of the study. Researchers will compare the groups to assess whether PGx-guided care provided in partnership with community pharmacists and prescribers results in better depression and medication outcomes.

Changing Lives and Changing Outcomes-9 for Serious Mental Illness

18+
All Sexes
Worcester, MA

People with serious mental illness (depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders) have high rates of repeated criminal legal involvement and psychiatric hospitalizations. Longstanding research shows that in addition to treating clients' symptoms of mental illness, targeting risk factors for legal involvement can help reduce their chances of future incarcerations. Because hospitals are becoming increasingly forensic, treatment programs that address both mental illness and risk factors for legal involvement may be especially helpful in a state hospital setting, like Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital (WRCH). This treatment study offers an adjunctive 9-session intervention, Changing Lives and Changing Outcomes-9 (CLCO-9), for patients at WRCH; this program is designed to help people with serious mental illness who are involved in the legal system increase their awareness of their mental health and reduce their chances of future legal involvement. The investigators are proposing a treatment study testing the use of the CLCO-9 group intervention with patients with serious mental illness with current or previous criminal legal involvement at Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital (WRCH). The study has three aims: 1. Evaluate feasibility, fidelity, and patient satisfaction during the implementation of the CLCO-9 group treatment at WRCH 2. Evaluate CLCO-9's effectiveness on improving patient's self-reported mental health, and behavioral indicators of mental health and risk factors for legal involvement 3. Explore changes in WRCH clinicians' knowledge and attitudes about treating risk factors for criminal legal involvement. To test these aims, the research team will employ a two-phase study. In the first phase, the researchers will implement the intervention and make necessary adjustments to maximize the success of the implementation. In the second phase, the researchers will evaluate the treatment program's effectiveness in producing change from pre- to post-treatment. All patient participants in this study will receive the intervention. The projected sample size is about 20 treatment completers and 4 to 8 group leaders.
