Apnea Pill
The drug Remeron (generic name mirtazapine) currently used to treat depression, has showed promise in reducing the number of apneas per night. Remeron is thought to work by adjusting the balance of the brain's natural chemical messengers, especially norepinephrine and serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in sleep and depression.
