mianserin and Cocaine Abuse

mianserin has been researched along with Cocaine Abuse in 4 studies

Mianserin: A tetracyclic compound with antidepressant effects. It may cause drowsiness and hematological problems. Its mechanism of therapeutic action is not well understood, although it apparently blocks alpha-adrenergic, histamine H1, and some types of serotonin receptors.
mianserin : A dibenzoazepine (specifically 1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexahydrodibenzo[c,f]pyrazino[1,2-a]azepine) methyl-substituted on N-2. Closely related to (and now mostly superseded by) the tetracyclic antidepressant mirtazapinean, it is an atypical antidepressant used in the treatment of depression throughout Europe and elsewhere.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Prior findings concerning the use of mirtazapine in the treatment of a variety of substance use disorders and its antagonistic actions at the serotonin 5-HT(2A) receptor suggest that this drug may have efficacy in the treatment of cocaine dependence in the presence of a depressive disorder."5.16The efficacy of mirtazapine in the treatment of cocaine dependence with comorbid depression. ( Afshar, M; Ciraulo, DA; Colaneri, LS; Devine, E; Knapp, CM; Putnam, MA; Sarid-Segal, O; Tozier, L; Waters, ME, 2012)
"Cocaine abuse and dependence are a global public health problem."3.85Synergistic interactions between mirtazapine and prazosin prevent the induction and expression of behavioral sensitization to cocaine in rats. ( Barbosa-Méndez, S; Matus-Ortega, M; Salazar-Juárez, A, 2017)
"Mirtazapine is an antidepressant implicated in reducing behavioral alterations induced by drugs of abuse."1.46Dose- and time-dependent effects of mirtazapine on the expression of cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization in rats.
