I am not finding mirtazapine withdrawal very easy. I am not sleeping very well and some of my panicky feelings have returned. I feel strong enough to cope with this. I have also had pains in my neck and head but have not resorted to zopiclone. I feel the benefits of withdrawal will compensate for the suffering I am feeling at the moment. I'm not going to give up a nd I have been on a relatively low dose of 15mg. Pooh.
Withdrawal still quite difficult but I'm sticking to it!! Agitation in the morning and surprisingly IBS dreadful at the moment. I still have the pains in my neck and head. Do not underesrtimate the power of this drug!. I am sleeping but do not 'go off' straight away like before. Really want to come off this. Pooh.
This is very interesting to know.. i have been on mirtazapine for a while now after a very bad reaction to citalopram and nearly no response to another. It has been rather good for me at a 45mg doseage, which has improved my sleep and reduced anxiety. I will be interested to hear how long your problems last and withdrawl is. As the drug has a very short half life and from what i have read it should leave your system in 48 hours unlike most ADs
Hi there I thought that it was time for an update. I am feeling much brighter more alert and in touch with myself and my feelings. Im beginning to wonder whether the pains in my head are not related to the mirtazapine withdrawal. I feel as if I have broken the back of it I now have ten days of alternate half tablet then stop completely. I am more anxious but at least I can recognise it for what it is and try to stay calm! In answer to Phoenix I guess my withdrawal is complicated by the fact that I also take lithium and prothiaden. They obviously cushion me from many of the highs and lows of the day. Sometimes I can feel the day rushing past me and I can't stop it. I certainly dont feel slowed down and that shushy feeling in my brain has almost gone. Am I making sense? Pooh.
