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. 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?

5Patient 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.
5Patient Review

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.

I've been using this medication for eight years now and it's really helped me sleep better. I don't feel groggy when I wake up, even if I'm up as early as 6 AM.

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.

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.
