Taken from www.rxlist.com
"These studies have shown that mirtazapine acts as an antagonist at central presynaptic a2 adrenergic inhibitory autoreceptors and heteroreceptors, an action that is postulated to result in an increase in central noradrenergic and serotonergic activity."
But, I read from some other source, that there was a co-release of dopamine (in certain areas of the brain) after blocade of these receptors. I could be mistaken though.
