>Mirtazapine was developed as the better Mianserin, Mirtazapine is 6-aza-mianserin. Mianserin was tarnished because it sometimes causes agranulocytosis, Mirtazapine was supposed to correct this problem, but it can cause agranulocytosis too.
Serzone was developed as a better Trazodone, but the only real advantage was a new patent.
