> Mirtazapine is Remeron, but it's not an SNRI. It has no clinically significant effect on serotonin and noradrenalin reuptake. It's noradrenergic effects are described above, but its known serotonergic action comes from action at 5ht-2a and 2c receptors. None of its mechanisms are substantially similar to Effexor's.
