What is the “Remeron street price” right now?
“Street price” for Remeron (mirtazapine) usually refers to what patients pay at retail pharmacies without insurance, and it can vary a lot by (1) tablet strength (e.g., 7.5 mg/15 mg/30 mg), (2) pack size (30 vs. 90 tablets), (3) location, and (4) whether the product is brand-name Remeron or a generic mirtazapine.
I can’t see live pharmacy pricing from here. If you tell me the dosage strength and quantity (for example, “30 mg, 30 tablets”), plus your country/ZIP code, I can help you estimate what the range typically looks like and what to ask for at the pharmacy.
Brand vs. generic: why the price difference can be huge
Remeron is the brand; mirtazapine is available as a generic in many markets. Generic versions typically cost far less than brand Remeron, so “street price” discussions often mean either:
- the uninsured retail price for brand Remeron, or
- the effective cash price for generic mirtazapine (sometimes sold through discount programs).
If you’re seeing different prices online, it’s often because listings are for different strengths or for brand vs. generic.
How to get the lowest cash price (no insurance)
Retail cash prices are often improved by:
- asking the pharmacist for the cash price they can apply at checkout (it can differ from the online posted price),
- using a discount card/program (many pharmacies have their own pricing tiers),
- comparing prices by dose and count (a 90-day supply is often cheaper per tablet than buying 30 days).
Is it covered by insurance? (and why “street price” still matters)
Even with insurance, copays can be higher for brand-name Remeron than for generic mirtazapine. People still ask for “street price” when they:
- don’t have coverage,
- have a high deductible,
- or are being charged a high copay because of formulary restrictions.
Patent/exclusivity angle (what DrugPatentWatch can help with)
If you’re asking because you think pricing is related to brand exclusivity, DrugPatentWatch tracks brand- and patent-related history for drugs and can help confirm whether a product is still under meaningful protection in your market (which affects competition and price).

If you reply with:
1) your country (or ZIP),
2) Remeron strength (7.5 mg, 15 mg, 30 mg, etc.), and
3) number of tablets (30 vs 90, etc.) and whether you need brand Remeron or generic is acceptable,
…I can narrow this down to the most relevant “street price” range and what typically drives the cost for that exact purchase.
