Mirtazapine is a Noradrenergic and Specific Serotonergic Antidepressant (NaSSA). It works by increasing the levels of norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain, which are natural chemicals that help maintain mental balance. Unlike many other antidepressants, Mirtazapine also has potent antihistamine properties, which provide a calming, sedative effect that is particularly beneficial for patients struggling with insomnia or significant anxiety alongside their mood disorder.
In Nigeria, Mirtazapine 15mg is a foundational clinical treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-quality medication stored under the correct pharmaceutical conditions to maintain its molecular stability.

Will Mirtazapine make me gain weight?
Increased appetite and weight gain are very common side effects of Mirtazapine. While this is helpful for patients who have lost weight due to depression, others should monitor their calorie intake and stay active while on the medication.
Is Mirtazapine a sleeping pill?
No, it is a primary antidepressant. However, because it blocks certain histamine receptors, it is very sedating. This is why it is almost always prescribed to be taken at bedtime to help the patient sleep.
How long must I stay on Mirtazapine?
Depression treatment usually lasts for at least 6 months after you start feeling better to prevent a relapse. Your doctor will determine the best timeline for you.
