Mirtazapine: Difference between revisions
>Discount Pharmacologist Chemistry and pharmacology info added |
>FenrisVVulf I added a possible paradoxical effect that is quite common. Increased doses of mirtazapine can actually decrease it's sedative properties. Citation is needed. I will correct when I can. Anecdotal evidence collected includes my own experience (7.5mg (attempted to halve: 3.75mg) felt like opioid nods apposed to a light sleep aid at 45mg. This info came to me from my personal M.D & past Psychiatrist. |

Higher doses of mirtazapine (that exceed the recommended prescription dose) are reported to produce an unusual mixture of [[psychedelic]] and [[sedative]] effects. [[Subjective effects]] include [[sedation]] and mild-moderate versions of [[geometry|open and closed-eye visuals]], [[conceptual thinking]], and [[euphoria]]. | Higher doses of mirtazapine (that exceed the recommended prescription dose) are reported to produce an unusual mixture of [[psychedelic]] and [[sedative]] effects.

Mirtazapines has potential paradoxical effects concerning it's sedative effects. Anecdotal reports and studies suggest it's [[Sedation]] decreases as the dose increases. (7.5mg is more [[sedating]] than 15mg.) One theory suggests it has minor [[Stimulant]] effects that overpowers it's sedative effects. {{citation needed}} | |||
The toxicity and health risks of recreational mirtazapine use is not known. It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance. | The toxicity and health risks of recreational mirtazapine use is not known.
