Remeron

Pronunciation: mir-TAZ-a-peen
Generic Name: Mirtazapine
Brand Name: Remeron

Antidepressants may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or actions in children, teenagers, and young adults. However, depression and certain other mental problems may also increase the risk of suicide. Talk with the patient's doctor to be sure that the benefits of using Remeron outweigh the risks.

Families and caregivers must closely watch patients who take Remeron. It is important to keep in close contact with the patient's doctor. Tell the doctor right away if the patient has symptoms like worsened depression, suicidal thoughts, or changes in behavior. Discuss any questions with the patient's doctor.

Remeron is used for:

Treating depression. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Remeron is a tetracyclic antidepressant. Exactly how Remeron improves depression symptoms is not known. It is thought to increase the activity of certain chemicals in the brain (eg, norepinephrine, serotonin) that help improve mood.

Do NOT use Remeron if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Remeron


• you are taking furazolidone


• you are taking oxitriptan or tryptophan


• you are taking or have taken furazolidone, linezolid, methylene blue, or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Treatments for depression are getting better everyday and there are things you can start doing right away.

Before using Remeron:

Some medical conditions may interact with Remeron. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have liver problems, high cholesterol, kidney problems, heart problems, blood vessel problems, or a low white blood cell count


• if you have a history of dizziness or fainting, seizures, heart attack, angina (chest pain), or stroke


• if you have low blood pressure, low blood volume, low blood sodium levels, or you are dehydrated


• if you have a history of mental or mood problems (eg, depression, bipolar disorder) or suicidal thoughts or behaviors


• if you take medicine to treat high blood pressure

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Remeron. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

• Fluvoxamine, furazolidone, linezolid, lithium, MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), methylene blue, oxitriptan, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (eg, fluoxetine), serotonin 5-HT₁ receptor agonists (eg, sumatriptan), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) (eg, venlafaxine), St. John's wort, tramadol, tryptophan, or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because they may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, including increased risk of restlessness, fever, excessive sweating, twitching, and seizures that can, rarely, be life-threatening


• Azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole), benzodiazepines, (eg, diazepam), cimetidine, HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir), macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin), or nefazodone because it may increase the risk of Remeron's side effects


• Carbamazepine, phenytoin, or rifampin because they may decrease Remeron's effectiveness


• Warfarin because the risk of its side effects may be increased by Remeron


• Clonidine because its effectiveness may be decreased by Remeron

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Remeron may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Remeron:

Contact the doctor right away if any signs of suicidal thoughts or actions occur.

Symptoms may include agitation; confusion; hallucinations; coma; irritability; fever; fast or irregular heartbeat; tremor; excessive sweating; rigid muscles; severe headache or dizziness; and nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Contact your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms.


• Lab tests, including liver function, kidney function, and complete blood cell counts, may be performed while you use Remeron. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
