Mirtazapine (generic Remeron) Review

Why is Remeron prescribed?

Remeron is prescribed for the treatment of major depression--that is, a continuous depressed mood that interferes with everyday life. The symptoms of major depression often include changes in appetite and weight, difficulty sleeping, loss of interest in pleasurable activities, constant fidgeting or a slowdown in movement, fatigue, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, difficulty concentrating, slowed thinking, and suicidal thoughts.

Remeron is thought to work by adjusting the balance of the brain's natural chemical messengers, especially norepinephrine and serotonin. It belongs to the class of drugs known as tetracyclics and is chemically unrelated to other antidepressants such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors and MAO inhibitors.

Overdosage

Any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

• Symptoms of Remeron (Mirtazapine) overdose include:
  Drowsiness, mental confusion, impaired memory, rapid heartbeat

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

The effects of Remeron (Mirtazapine) during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. It is not known whether Remeron appears in breast milk. However, because many drugs do make their way into breast milk, you should tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.

What side effects may occur?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Remeron (Mirtazapine).

• More common side effects may include:
  Abnormal dreams and thinking, weakness, sleepiness, increased appetite, flu-like symptoms, dry mouth, dizziness, constipation, weight gain

Possible food and drug interactions when taking Remeron (Mirtazapine)

Never combine Remeron (Mirtazapine) with an MAO inhibitor; and do not drink alcohol while taking this medication. If Remeron is taken with certain other drugs, decreased, the effects of either could be increased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Remeron (Mirtazapine) with tranquilizers such as Xanax, Valium, and Ativan.

Special warnings about Remeron (Mirtazapine)

In clinical studies, antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children and adolescents with depression and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of Remeron (Mirtazapine) or any other antidepressant in a child or adolescent must balance this risk with the clinical need. Remeron has not been studied in children or adolescents and is not approved for treating anyone less than 18 years old.

If you develop flu-like symptoms, mouth sores, chills or fever, a sore throat, or any other signs of infection, call your doctor; these symptoms may signal a serious underlying condition.

Additionally, the progression of major depression is associated with a worsening of symptoms and/or the emergence of suicidal thinking or behavior in both adults and children, whether or not they are taking antidepressants. Individuals being treated with Remeron (Mirtazapine) and their caregivers should watch for any change in symptoms or any new symptoms that appear suddenly--especially agitation, extreme hyperactivity, restlessness, panic, hostility, anxiety, and suicidal thinking or behavior--and report them to the doctor immediately. Be especially observant at the beginning of treatment or whenever there is a change in dose.

Serious, sometimes fatal reactions have been known to occur when drugs such as Remeron (Mirtazapine) are taken in combination with other drugs known as MAO inhibitors, including the antidepressants Nardil and Parnate. Never take Remeron with one of these drugs or within 14 days of discontinuing therapy with one of them; and allow at least 14 days between stopping Remeron (Mirtazapine) and starting an MAO inhibitor.
