Abstract
Antidepressant drugs that act on serotonin and noradrenergic systems may be analgesic. The newer antidepressant mirtazapine (Remeron) has activity on noradrenergic and serotonergic transmission and is approved for the treatment of a Major Depressive Disorder. This paper describes a case that suggests that mirtazapine may also be useful in the treatment of chronic pain.
