> I was looking at one of Dr. Nemeroff's books and his colleague's (a guide), and this drug Mirtazpine (a TCA) looks really good. It has very low anticholinergic effects, thus good for the heart, very little hypotension, and easy to tolerate all-around, with one adverse reaction which stops when the drug is stopped.

Your talking about REMERON. It's an snri, kind of similar to Effexor. It's a selective alpha-2-adrenergic antagonist that inhances noredrenergic and serotenergic neurotransmission. Sedation is the most common side effect, also increase in appetite.
