30mg-->22.5mg-->15mg

[Dubai]

DAY 15, slept for 12 hours, woke up a bit better than yesterday.

[Dubai]

Day 16, slept 10 hours, woke up fine, but little foggy & little energy, hoping to feel better as the progresses.

The above was written in the morning.

its now 8pm, I feel congested with a headache and growling stomach

Day 17, had a hectic day that was already planned therefore; I took 10mg Propranolol to hide any physical symptoms of anxiety & it helped.

Day 18, I shaved my 7.5mg a bit, I'm sure I was close to 6mg & will do the same tonight, felt tired during the day but nothing to worry about.

[Dubai]

Day 19, I think I got carried away and probably ended with a max of 4mg, I think being overly tired with the meds is making me be aggressive and alter my plan, any how, I woke up so anxious and was tossing in bed for an hour, I had to get up I cant miss work, I had few trips to the toilet, the last one was pure hell. I started feeling better as the day went by & now at ease and more relaxed . I dont know what to make up of it, should I remain on the low dose or alternate between 7.5mg and the lower dose for a week or so?

Day 20, back at 7.5mg woke up much better than the day before, but had colon pain throughout the day.

Day 21, dropped to 4mg or about, woke up an hour ago, having a slight headache.
I am planning to stay at this dose for few more days and then JUMP.

Hi Dubai

Just wanted to drop by and wish you well with your withdrawal...I started on Mirt back in 2010 initially 15mg up to 30mg for a short while then reduced back down and have been on 7.5mg for around 15 months now...I also take 50mg of pregabalin at night.

I keep wondering about coming off altogether but as I had such a bad time my GP wanted me to stay on this low dose....so not sure what to do.

Anyhow keep on posting and hope it goes well.

JT69,

Thank you for the positive words, I just took what seems to me less than 4mg, hoping tomorrow is better than today or at least similar.

I will keep posting until I am med free.

Day 22-24 Took a tiny 2mg or less.

My last dose was almost almost 48 hours ago, technically today was my first day off. I didnt have difficulties falling a sleep, but once awake the anxiety is very high.

I have been walking for 2 miles or so everyday this past week as well as today, ever since I got back from my walk, I feel as I am falling into depression & I am very irritable.

I feel helpless not knowing how long this feeling would last.

2nd Day off, woke up not feeling well, it took me a while to realize its Nausea (Not sure what to take to help ease it) It took about 3 hours for the nausea to ease. Other issues, fatigue, emotional, but over all mentally positive.

while I am not get getting much of support in the forum ( emotional lol ), I will continue to update.

Take care & be strong

Hi dubai. I guess u are not getting much advice here because most here are on mirtazapine and not coming off it. I wish I could be of help but unfortunately I haven't done it yet. If it were me then I would try to just keep pushing on, it will pass eventually. All the best again, I think ur doing really well
