I stopped taking 15mg after 14 months two weeks ago and things started off fine but after about a week it all started.
I started shaking violently in the mornings, mood swings, a sense of unawareness, muscle aches in the neck and stomach and then last night terrible night sweats and visions.
I ended up calling the emergency doctor it seems that Mirtzapine is one of the worst to get off.
I googled Mirtzapine withdrawal and came across another forum where people were still having problems 5+ weeks after stopping. It appears that your mind and brain can take a long time to adjust to not having it's drug.
If you planning on coming off them be aware you can get a false sense of security before the withdraw kicks in, I was down to one 15mg every two days and still am having this.
The doctor said as I had been off it two weeks it would be wise to carry on cold turkey as I had got this far and taking another would just put it back in my mind.
