Hi, I have been on 15mg of Mirt now for 4 weeks & want off, can anybody recommend a safe tapering routine to reduce withdrawal symptoms, I don’t have access to the liquid version, only tablets. Thanks
I slowly tapering off 15mg by halving it so far not too bad.
I'm taking cbd oil alongside it then I'll stop it altogether
Speak to doctor on this don't rush as body can have shock I tapered from 45 down to 7.5mg over years worked fine for me but I tried to come completely off and went into side effect of many types I would advise to speak to your doctor
You should take CBD oil with mirtazipine not good option have you read that , even herbal natural remedies can interfere with certain medications recently a study as arose confirming this so CBD oil isn't a good move
i cut mine in half took 7.5 for one week, then cold turkey. it's been 4 days and no withdrawl side effects other than insomnia. nytol seems to be helping me though . good luck!!
I'm planning to cut mine out now and then just use cbt oil instead for my depression and anxiety
I spoke to my doctor & he wants me to stay on Mirt for another month, he suggested increasing to 30mg or 22.5mg from 15mg. I have been on now for nearly 5 weeks & so far it is only helping my appetite & sleep slightly, not my Anxiety & Depression. Should I stay on 15 for another month, increase or taper off? Thanks
After thinking long & hard I have decided to go ahead & taper off my 15mg that I have been on for 5 weeks. I have decided after realising Mirt has been only helping my appetite & sleep slightly, not my Anxiety or improving my mood. This is my taper plan :
- 25mg for 2 weeks 7.5mg for 2 weeks
- 75 for 2 weeks 1.875 for 2 weeks 1.875 every second, third day etc till I am a week between doses then off...
Is this a reasonable tapering plan?

Anyone?
I'm doing the same, have just orded some CBD oil from the USA to see if that helps with my Anxiety & Depression & too take as I'm withdrawing from Mirt in the weeks...
I am not sure what is the best plan. I have read almost everything I can and some get off easy but seems to be minority. the 2 ways I have seen is CITA protocol or 10% reduction every 3 weeks. both are a lengthy process. it would be up to you if you want to try a decrease and see how you do but I would stay at least 2 to 3 weeks on reduction as some have reported withdrawal can take up to 2 to 3 weeks to show up. I decided to compound mine to liquid and I just got it and will be following a slow taper plan. I've only been on 3 months and I'm sure I'm one of the unlucky ones as I tried to decrease early on when I was on a few weeks and had terrible symptoms and went back up and they went away. I wish you luck. keep me posted on your progress.
Thanks for your support, I have been taking 11.25mg for the last 5 days & feeling ok. Am going to start on CBD oil soon to help with the possible withdrawal symptoms I may face. I wish you all the best too!!
I got mine from UK holland and barratts its helping me so far I usually sleep ok let me know how it goes
Hi Janey, will do, mine arrives next week. How are you going with the CBD oil is it helping with your Anxiety, Mood, sleep & nausea after dropping the Mirt?
where did you get the cbd oil? its helping somewhat but I have psychosis so my fears are irrational. sleep is improved now wasnt at first. nausea was only temporary a day or do. I've added in turmeric now so I'll take them in evenings. That's also good for all sorts.
my replies are moderated probably because I mention CBD lol
Glad to hear you are doing OK Janey & feeling better without the Mirt!!
About to finish my 2 weeks on 11.25mg before going down to 7.5mg for 2 weeks, so far only withdrawals may be increased anxiety but not sure if it's the drug or all in my head? as have only been on Mirt for 7 weeks.
