Mirtazapine OD is a TeCA, or tetra-cyclic antidepressant used chiefly to treat depression. Mirtazapine belongs to the class Noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants (NaSSAs), which is a class of antidepressants that are psychotic in nature. Introduced by Orgon International, Mirtazapine started as an anti-depressant in America, and soon became a popular drug in the world.
Mirtazapine has been found to be one of the most effectual anti-depressants, when research and study was done to compare with other drugs. Even though the side effects of Mirtazapine are moderate, and often well-tolerated, it has been known to possess two anti-depressant powers by working on different kinds of receptors within the brain, thereby powerfully carrying out the function of restoring the chemical balance in the patient, and alleviating depression effectively.Mirtazapine results into withdrawal symptoms within the patient, who discontinues it suddenly.
Hence, usually, a very slow and gradual reduction in dosage is recommended. Comparatively, Mirtazapine OD is believed to have mild to rarely moderate adverse effects when taken in overdose. However, even though Mirtazapine has a mild profile of adverse effects, precaution must be taken as Mirtazapine has been known to result into weight gain, an increase in suicidal tendencies, and making the patients sleepy.
