In reply to Ed? Know anything about Mirtazapine?, posted by pretty_paints on December 14, 2004, at 17:56:37
Mirtazapine is kind of a SNRI in that it enhances serotonin/norepinhephrine funtion, but it does not do so throught reputake inhibition.
It's primary function is to block the inhibitory NE-alpha2 receptors. This causes a release of serotonin and norepinephrine. It also blocks some of the serotonin receptors 5-ht2a/c and 5-ht3.
