Remeron (Mirtazapine): online prescription management for depression

• The first step includes a brief assessment. Based on your assessment, we’ll match you with a licensed psychiatric clinician. You’ll discuss your symptoms with your clinician over a live video session and based on their assessment, they will prescribe you a treatment plan. If your plan includes a prescription for Remeron or any other medication, you can pick it up at a pharmacy near you.

Remeron (Mirtazapine) is typically taken orally in tablet form. However, only your provider can prescribe you the form, dosage, and frequency in which you should take it. Your prescription will depend on your mental health condition and your clinician’s evaluation.

Remeron and its generic form, Mirtazapine, should be taken exactly as your healthcare provider instructed with the prescription. Common side effects of Remeron are often mild, but can include drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, anxiousness, dry mouth, weight gain, and more. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience adverse effects like suicidal ideation, eye pain, chest pain, sore throat and flu-like symptoms, seizures, and fast heartbeat. Remeron may potentially cause low blood pressure, which can make pre-existing heart problems worse.

• Remeron is in a class of drugs called tetracyclic antidepressants, used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. It’s an antidepressant that helps balance the brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters, improving mood and reducing anxiety. Remeron is also sometimes used to treat obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or anxiety disorders. 

Remeron has a potential risk to cause issues for people with Bipolar Disorder or a history of mania/hypermania, so your healthcare provider will ask for a detailed history before prescribing it.

• Remeron is not considered a sleeping pill as it’s not FDA-approved to treat sleep disorders like insomnia. However, it can cause drowsiness and may help some people sleep better.

• Remeron is considered an effective option for some people in successfully treating mild to severe depression. 

• Mirtazapine is not the same as Xanax. While both can be used to treat anxiety, they belong to different drug classes — Mirtazapine is an antidepressant and primarily used to treat depression, whereas Xanax is in a class of drugs called benzodiazepine (benzos).

There are several different medications your psychiatrist may prescribe for depression.
