Time to stop !!!

[russellie]

Hi all
I have been on Mirap for just over a year now, my Phsychiatrist signed me off to the care of my G.P, Have been feeling great and think I need to come of Mirap. having had no previous bouts of depression before this one, My G.P said there are no side effects to stopping. Is this right???
As I live in Ireland the health service is still finding it's feet to put it mildly !!!!
Look forward to hearing replies from those in similar circumstances
Regards
Russell

I've stopped mirtazapine before, quite abruptly, with no ill effects.

however I was on only 15mg and immediately started on a different drug.

I believe that official advice if coming off mirtazapine totally, rather than switching to another drug, is to reduce the amount slowly over 4 weeks.

You'll find more info and experiences on the mirtazapine sub-forum.
