" the alpa-2 antagonistm will increase overall norepenephrine release. This could increase anxiety in the same way that mirtazapine and yohimbine can increase anxiety (ie phyiscal symptoms) It might also increase anticipatory anxiety. "

Thanks, Linkadge. Is this because blocking the alpha-2 receptors means more free-floating NE? Or does it trigger additional synthesis?
