Core Tip	The management of symptoms associated with severe gastroparesis remains challenging because current therapeutic options are fairly limited. This case report documents the rapid improvement of nausea and vomiting in a patient with severe post-infectious gastroparesis with mirtazapine. Because mirtazapine acts primarily as a serotonin 1a receptor agonist, this receptor system may be an important adjunctive target for nausea and vomiting refractory to standard therapies. Thus, mirtazapine should be considered as a treatment option for gastroparesis.
