I don't think mirtazapine is an SSRI because I can't tolerate them and have to take it to sleep.

I've had problems and will look into it. Thanks for posting.

No, it isn’t. I was going to say that most patients on mirtazapine would sleep through it anyway. I had considered taking it at one time but the tendency to go on food binges scared me off. You’re lucky if you don’t have to deal with that.

“I don't think mirtazapine is an SSRI”
Your right mirtazapine AKA Remeron,is more of a SSNRI.
Selective Serotonin Norepinephrine Re-uptake Inhibitor.
