Mirtazapine withdrawal

Looking for other people's experiences of mirtazapine withdrawal.....small dose for six weeks.

hi ive tapered off, isnt easy but with the right tools can be easy..goodluck

What dose were you on? How long for?  How did you do it?

 

i was on 30mg then tapered down for a week to 15mg, then went onto sertiline! felt like i had flu but eased off now

Hello there,

I was on 15mg for 7 months and tapered off over a period of 3 weeks, had a few side effects but nothing major. Feeling lots better now and back to being me again, its surprising how the Mirt altered me without me realising it, having said that, it got me through a brief difficult period of my life. Take your time and think positive and you,ll be fine.

What side effects did you have?  

hi vivid dreams! doesnt last long mirtz comes out your system quite quickly

I am pleased to hear that.  I have read so many scare stories.

yes i had also! worried me ..you will be fine 

I had a bit of chest pain, odd dreams and a little anxiety but I knew what it was all about and didnt panic as I knew it would subside, which it obviously did. I think people stay on these meds longer than they need to because of the fear of coming off dont they ? Anyway, dont worry and it,ll be fine.

Hi 

After a year on 30mg, tapered to zero in 2 months, zero withdrawal, 

Benzo's helped a lot 

Highly recommend them when tapering 

Good luck
