> Remeron is used to treat pruritis, from what I could gather doing a Google search. However, I have often wondered the same thing you have about drugs like Remeron and Sinequan. What is it about them that has prevented them from becoming known as effective antihistamines? I haven't looked into their differential pharmacology. Maybe there are subtypes of the H1 receptor. I don't really know.

histamine as control (vs injection of saline) still produces a normal reaction, a large welt. OTOH, an injection of histamine while on Doxipin produces no recation.
