People who suffer from depression often benefit from using Remeron® (mirtazapine), an antidepressant that is available by prescription. It is not entirely clear how the medication works, but it is thought to help produce more norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain when levels become unbalanced. Potential side effects of Remeron include drowsiness, dry mouth, and an increased appetite. It comes in tablet form or as an orally disintegrating tablet, and the dose is taken once a day.
