When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants is associated with a risk of seizures. Only one case of seizure was reported with mirtazapine, a newer tetracyclic antidepressant, during premarketing trials involving nearly 2800 patients. However, the drug has not been evaluated in controlled studies of patients with a history of seizures. Therapy with mirtazapine should be administered cautiously in such patients.
