Right, I’ve not been on here for ages life’s good, got a promotion , out and about and living life. Yeah of course anxiety is there sometimes worse than other days but it’s all good. I have not had a depressive relapse for 1 year. I was struggling with some harm OCD thoughts so increased my seroquel to 200mg which has quietened the mind.now the problem.

I went to see my GP today who says I need to start tapering my mirtazapine 45mg, I’ve gained a lot of weight and I control my anxiety through exercise and the occasional benzo. I have an armoury of benzo to help me with anxiety and I do feel ready to reduce but I have tried twice before and I just turn in to a suicidal mess.

anyone came off of mirtazapine 45mg? How did you do it? And any tips? I’m sure the quetiapine will offset most the withdrawals and the propranolol will control the adrenaline surges.

any advice or good stories appreciated
