I like remeron because of it's 5ht2 and 5ht3 antagonism. Does it take only 7.5 mg to block these receptors and then at 15 mg it starts to block alpha 2 receptors? I'd love some information on this because I can't stand alpha 2 antagonists but The 5ht2 and 5ht3 antagonism is great for me.

Hi den2,
lets have a look at
"Imipramine, Mirtazapine, and Nefazodone: Multiple Targets"
http://www.preskorn.com/columns/0003.htmlIf I read the figure right, there is a 10 fold difference in binding affinity between 5-HT2/3 and alpha-2. I dont think there is really a "point" where the alpha-2 antagonism starts. It's ever existent, but 10 times less "strong" than 5-HT2/3 antagonism.
I would just take a dose, at which you are fine and satisfied with the effect you get from remeron. Whatever this is in mg. But I think you already figured it out for you: 7,5 mg.good luck

I think it works pretty evenly on these receptors, though youd need to take it at night to avoid daytime sedation.
