Is Remeron proconvulsant?

Hello Justin.......
I never said that mirtazapine had been proven to be proconvulsant, just that convulsions have been reported as a (possible) side effect. Similarly, seizures have been reported to occur in patients treated with mianserin, mirtazapine's close chemical cousin. As a result, it may be unwise to administer a high dose of mirtazapine to someone who was known to be epileptic, particularly in combination with an exceptionally high dose of venlafaxine- a drug which has been associated with convulsions both at therapeutic doses and in overdose. Your post suggests that mirtazapine is an well established anticonvulsant, but this is not the case.
All the best........
Ed
