Remeron (Mirtazapine): Side Effects Every Prescriber Should Know
Mirtazapine is widely used for depression, particularly when insomnia, poor appetite, or weight loss are prominent concerns. While often well tolerated, it carries a distinct side effect profile that every prescriber should understand. This practical guide reviews the most common and clinically relevant adverse effects of mirtazapine, including sedation, increased appetite, weight gain, anticholinergic symptoms, gastrointestinal complaints, and rare but serious reactions. Designed for clinicians and trainees, it also provides key monitoring points to support safer prescribing and more effective follow-up care.
