Re: Coming off mirtazepine
It take mitazepine and have for 4 years. During this time i've adjusted my dose many times. When changing dose i've had symptoms but they didn't last long. You'll be fine.
If you've been on 45mg and now changed to 30mg you could try cutting a 45mg and 30mg in half to give you 37.5mg for a while and see if that helps. You could then go to 30mg for a while then cut a 45mg in half to give you 22.5mg rather than going straight to 15mg.
Hope that helps, just go as slow as you can:)
Re: Coming off mirtazepine
Matt thank you very much - The psychiatrist has sent instructions to my gp to decrease the med on a weekly basis by 15mg.. I am collecting the scripts weekly so unfortunately I can't cut the tablets as suggested. I think I can manage it I just have to be positive and strong. Feeling very lethargic and fatigued, limbs and muscle aches... but I will manage somehow. Thanks again for replying :)
Re: Coming off mirtazepine
Hi Yvonne, i too have just started tapering off Mirtazapine. I've been on it for 8 years, and for the last 2 years 45mg.
I'm 3 days in and feeling a little strange but so far it's not too bad. But please remember that it will pass, from speaking with others that have come off this drug the withdrawals do pass quite quickly.

Hi Tony,

Re: Coming off mirtazepine
We can indeed! How are you feeling today?
Re: Coming off mirtazepine
I tried to come off this last week and after two days I felt like I had the flu even though I didn’t so started it again , I’m only on 15 and have been for over a year but doc said just stop
Re: Coming off mirtazepine
Yet another totally clueless Dr!!! You can't just stop from 15mg, at the very least you should go to 7.5mg. It makes my blood boil!
I'm sure GP's spend to much time of their supposed 7 year training snorting cocaine from between prostitutes arse cheeks!!!

Right, am on 225mg Venlafaxine, been on 45mg of Mirtaezepine also for some months - could even be about a year. I have insisted on coming off the Mirtazepine.. my meds are not working well in general and I just thought why the hell am I taking all these meds if they are not helping. So... Just reduced down to 30mg feeling - achey limbs, weak and lethargic, very fatigued. Not sleeping well. :) Thanks all xxxx
How’s it going , I’m on day 5 and got all the symptoms you have is it getting any better ?
