What is more epinephrine agonist, tricyclic antidepressants (such as Amitriptyline), or tetracyclic antidepressants (such as Mirtazapine)?
Thanks. 2A10:8012:15:C48E:4400:7673:DFF0:2D67 (talk) 02:18, 24 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I saw one article that states: "The SSRIs and other atypical antidepressants (eg, trazadone, mirtazapine, bupropion) do not have significant epinephrine or ephedrine interactions (Figure 4)." In another article specifically about mirtazapine, epinephrine is not mentioned in a list of drugs known to interact with mirtazapine. I do not know if this can be generalized to tetracyclic antidepressants in general.  --Lambiam 05:58, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
