mianserin and Morphine Abuse

mianserin has been researched along with Morphine Abuse in 5 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 Closely related to (and now mostly superseded by) the tetracyclic antidepressant mirtazapinean, it is an atypical antidepressant used in the treatment of depression throughout Europe and elsewhere.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effects of the atypical antidepressant and serotonin antagonist mianserin on the expression of opiate withdrawal was examined using an acute and a chronic model of morphine dependence."3.67Mianserin attenuates naloxone-precipitated withdrawal signs in rats acutely or chronically dependent upon morphine. ( Neal, BS; Sparber, SB, 1986)
"Pretreatment with mirtazapine 24h prior to the CPP test had no effect on CPP expression."1.38The atypical antidepressant mirtazapine attenuates expression of morphine-induced place preference and motor sensitization. ( Graves, SM; Napier, TC; Persons, AL; Riddle, JL, 2012)
"Intensity of withdrawal symptoms was evaluated by tail-flick assay latencies and three behavioural measurements (rearing, jumping and grooming) in each group."1.32Mianserin and trazodone significantly attenuate the intensity of opioid withdrawal symptoms in mice. ( Backler, MM; Bar-Hamburger, R; Herman, I; Pick, CG; Rigai, T; Schreiber, S; Shamir, D, 2003)
