I'm hoping to withdraw from mirtazapine 30mg to 15mg initially hopefully eventually stopping it. My psychiatrist will probably add risperidone into the mix as I am already on lithium and prothiaden. I tried to stop in July by tapering and eventually stopping but I suffered severe anxiety and depression. I also experienced panic attacks with some visual hallucinations. So it's understandable that I'm scared. I have my GPs support and my psychiatrist but they are both away on hoilday at the moment. I asked my psychiatrist to give me some valium which he has done to ease the transition. If the panic attacks become too bad I'll have to go back on it. I know that some of you guys have withdrawn from anti depressants. I just wonder how you have all done it without having to be admitted as an inpatient.
