Hi all. Been to see GP 2day. Having blood tests next week for coeliacs disease as Dad n one Sis have it, plus other blood tests. I explained how angry I get on mirtazapine and she said the only way to find out if it is a symptom of depression rather than the tablet is to stop taking it. She said I do not need to taper it either as it has no side effects. Apparently it doesn't stay in the body very long which is why you can just stop it. And she said if it is going to affect you it would be pretty quickly after you stop taking it anyway. I am really surprised with this sweeping statement. I have read so many posts about side effects. I don't know what to think! I do want to stop it but I am on holiday at the end of March and am worried about doing it. My husband thinks I should give it a go n see what happens. Any thoughts please anybody. (I've bought a multi vitamin today as a boost just incase I decided not to take my tablet tonite). Thanks guys.
