mirtazapine and Chemical Dependence

mirtazapine has been researched along with Chemical Dependence in 9 studies

Mirtazapine: A piperazinoazepine tetracyclic compound that enhances the release of NOREPINEPHRINE and SEROTONIN through blockage of presynaptic ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS. It also blocks both 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 serotonin receptors and is a potent HISTAMINE H1 RECEPTOR antagonist. It is used for the treatment of depression, and may also be useful for the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Most patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) report clinically significant sleep problems."2.80Pre-treatment insomnia as a predictor of single and combination antidepressant outcomes: a CO-MED report. ( Luther, JF; Rush, AJ; Sung, SC; Trivedi, MH; Wisniewski, SR, 2015)
"The co-occurrence of substance use disorder (SUD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) is common and is often thought to impair response to antidepressant therapy."2.77Effect of concurrent substance use disorder on the effectiveness of single and combination antidepressant medications for the treatment of major depression: an exploratory analysis of a single-blind randomized trial. ( Balasubramani, GK; Davis, LL; Fava, M; Gaynes, BN; Howland, RH; Pilkinton, P; Rush, AJ; Trivedi, MH; Wisniewski, SR; Zisook, S, 2012)
"Mirtazapine (Remeron®) is a unique FDA-approved antidepressant, with negligible affinity for reuptake proteins, indirectly augments monoamine transmission presumably through antagonist activity at multiple receptors including the norepinephrine (NE)(α2), and serotonin (5-HT)(2A/C) receptors."2.48Mirtazapine, and mirtazapine-like compounds as possible pharmacotherapy for substance abuse disorders: evidence from the bench and the bedside. ( Graves, SM; Napier, TC; Rafeyan, R; Watts, J, 2012)
"Mirtazapine is a comparatively new antidepressant that selectively blocks central alpha2-adrenergic autoreceptors and postsynaptic 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors, causing reduced neuronal norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake."1.34Lack of significant toxicity after mirtazapine overdose: a five-year review of cases admitted to a regional toxicology unit. ( Bateman, DN; Good, AM; Waring, WS, 2007)
