Mirtazapine and Esmirtazapine both come up in the same conversations; they overlap on Serotonin and Norepinephrine. Mirtazapine: Mirtazapine is a tetracyclic antidepressant, often classified as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA), used primarily to treat major depressive disorder. Esmirtazapine: Esmirtazapine is an experimental drug that is the S-enantiomer of the antidepressant mirtazapine, a member of the tetracyclic class.
Mirtazapine is a tetracyclic antidepressant, often classified as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA), used primarily to treat major depressive disorder. Rather than blocking the reuptake of neurotransmitters like most modern antidepressants, it works by blocking a set of receptors, which increases noradrenaline and serotonin signaling and produces marked sedative and appetite-stimulating effects. Introduced in the 1990s and sold under brand names such as Remeron, it is a prescription medicine available as a generic.
Esmirtazapine is an experimental drug that is the S-enantiomer of the antidepressant mirtazapine, a member of the tetracyclic class. It was developed as a potential treatment for insomnia and for the hot flashes of menopause, drawing on its sedating antihistamine-like action and a half-life shorter than that of mirtazapine itself. Although clinical trials showed it could lengthen sleep, its developer discontinued the program, and it was never brought to market.

strengths are the entries' qualitative ratings (strong / moderate / weak); Ki and EC50 figures appear where an entry records them.
easiest to source: Mirtazapine is currently listed by more trusted vendors (2), so it's the simpler one to get hold of. for effects and safety, read each full entry; this is educational, not medical advice.
