Mirtazapin. ((( SLS)))

Posted by petters on April 22, 2002, at 12:41:08

Hi Scott.

Glad too hear that you will make a new trial on Nardil. Unfortunately, I donīt know anything
regarding your new medmix and possible interaction. Iīm very sorry for that.

I have stopped Mirtazapin for five month ago. Then I started Nefazodone with pretty good result. Mirtazapin was outstanding for reliev sexual dysfunction. Even the desire. I have tried buspirone, Nefazodone ( 5-HT2 antagonism didenīt stopp sexual dysfunction), gingo bilboa, Yohimbine, amantadine without success.

I donīt know what properties is importend in mirtazapin, regarding the good respons in reducing sexual dysfunction?

Any ideas?


Sincerely

Stay Well and be well...//Petters

Its the alpha-2 NE receptor that accounts for mirtazapine's effect on libido. It looks like that property of mirtazapine is unique to it among the current antidepressants. Unless someone can show I'm wrong...


 

Remeron actually made my TCA sexual side effects

worse! I started at 30 mg and felt better at first, but libido was hit hard. After I went back down to 15 mg everything improved, but my libido is not as good as it was before remeron. Strange how everybody is so different.

Hi Petters and TSA.

TSA, a fact that supports your idea is that yohimbine (Aphrodyne), also a NE-alpha2 antagonist, is known to increase libido. It is sometimes suggested to conteract the side effects of antidepressants. I don't know what other properties yohimbine possesses in order to compare it to other drugs.
