Mianserin vs. Elavil

Posted by X-ray on December 5, 2008, at 10:37:23

Hi,

I have been on Elavil (amitriptyline) for many years, but now I'm going to try mianserin (for sleep).

B R Ballinger and J Feely about mianserin in an article in British Medical Journal:
- Its profile of action differs considerably from the tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline) as it does not block amine uptake.

Can anyone explain what this means?
How does mianserin work compared to amitriptyline?

Best regards,
X-ray
