How exactly would it be possible to tell how to fully saturate this receptor?
The two clinically available alpha 2 blockers are - remeron, and it's sister, Mianserin.
As it happens - Mianserin does have a weak NRI base also, so, I've found, for me - when combined with a potent NRI in reboxetine, it's exaggerates this.
Only problem is, I take Mianserin at night, as it's also a hypnotic, so - activation plus sedation.
I sleep restlessly for three hours, wide awake - then by morning - I'm totally wasted for the next day.
I don't ever recall getting that whilst taking mirtazapine so, I'm attributing the activation to the NRI property.
Though, it may also be the negation of the auto inhibition feedback loop - but - like I said, I never got that on remeron so...
In any case - my concern is raising the NE levels as high as possible so, I would theoretically like the auto inhibition feedback loop cut completely - via alpha2 receptor blockade saturation.
Now - in terms of the dosing of Mirtazapine vs Mianserin - Mianserin goes twice as high at 90 mg.
Though I could only ever tolerate 60mg, and more recently - just 30 mgs.
So, 30 mgs is the starter dose - I'm assuming saturation is gonna be a ways off there.
However - Mianserin is reputed to be a stronger noradrenergic that remeron - due to its alpha 1 blockade also, negate 5 HT release.
I suppose my question here is - how potent is Remeron on the alpha 2 receptor blockade, at its maximum dose of 45 mgs??
Saturation potent?
Are there any academic papers that would yield such information - and where might I find them?
