I need to stop all supplements and meds that affect cortisol for two weeks prior to taking a four-point saliva test. So that means no more mirtazapine to help me sleep. I have been taking 7.5mg for 12 months and took my last tablet Friday night. First three night were fine, but last night (4th night) I didn't sleep much and have had bad anxiety all day today and no appetite.
Surely such a low non-therapeutic dose - a dose that is basically an antihistamine - should not cause severe withdrawal, correct? Insomnia and loss of appetite I can deal with for a couple of weeks. Does this sound about right, or am I in for a hell ride?
