I don't know, but it often does.
Why is it called an SNRI when it isn’t really?
I'm guessing mostly marketing. I doubt they'd be allowed to call it a SNRI if they were seeking regulatory approval for it now.
The lady who runs the group says it is an SNRI at 150mg but reading your comments it can’t be so.
It only begins to block noradrenaline/norepinephrine reuptake transporters at 150-200mg, but even then only weakly.
Is Mirtazipine a good AD?
It is mostly only a sedating antihistamine. Not a true AD.
...Most people say you need 150mg as it’s the lowest therapeutic dose??
The therapeutic dose range for healthy adults is 75-225mg (up to 375mg for hospital inpatients). This applies to both immediate and slow-release formulations.
