Effectiveness
How Remeron Soltab Affects PatientsMirtazapine 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 bodyMirtazapine 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 RiskThe lethal dose of mirtazapine in male mice is 830mg/kg. Overdosing can be treated with activated charcoal and general supportive care.

Remeron Soltab Reviews: What are patients saying about Remeron Soltab?
5Patient Review
5/8/2010 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.
5Patient Review
4/18/2011 I gained weight while taking this medication.
5Patient Review
1/15/2011 Remeron has been really effective in keeping me from hitting rock bottom when my depression sets in.
5Patient Review
1/19/2013 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.
5Patient Review
11/29/2011 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.
