Help mirtazapine

Hi

Need help. Been on mirt for 5 nights but want to come off them. Can I just stop? Any side effects? How long are they in your body? Been taking 15m

Fast answers please???!!!

Yes, you can just come off.  Five days is not long enough for your nervous system to have remodeled in response.  It may take a few days to come back to normal, and certainly if missing the first dose throws you into chaos, re-evaluate.  Very rarely, even short term use causes "withdrawal" when stopping abruptly, but RARE.

Mirt has a half life of 20-40 hours so the removal down to nothing could take several days.

Thanks

Could it affect my sleep u think?

Hi Gavin,

It should be okey to stop if you've only taking 15 mg for 5 nights. If you have any doubts I would cut your dose in half for a week and then alternate nights.
