Desipramine 0.83 most potent
Amitriptyline 35
Fluoxetine 240
Venlafaxine 1060 weakestSee the table of data by PK Gillman relating to "dual action", at his psychotropical.com site:

And if Mirtazapine has no effect on the tyramine pressor response, which suggests a sub-optimal property of "releasing" (?) noradrenaline, how is it that two agents with seemingly weak noradrenergic potency would together optimise inhibition of its reuptake to a degree greater than, for instance, nortriptyline or amitriptyline?
I am a neophyte at al this (as is no doubt obvious!), though would like to learn more!
