Excerpt
Mirtazapine has been shown to reduce anxiety symptoms and
sleep disturbances associated with depression as early as 1 week
after the start of treatment. Other advantages are minimal sexual
dysfunction, minimal nausea, and once-daily dosing. In addition,
mirtazapine is unlikely to be associated with cytochrome P450–mediated
drug interactions.
