I am taking mirtazapine at the moment at 30mg but I did withdraw from mirtazapine last year. Sorry to say the withdrawals for me were horrible. My anxiety went through the roof. I was experiencing severe panic attacks it felt like something was creeping under my skin. I also experienced terrible anxiety and sleep problems including sleep walking. I went back on mirtazapine and the next time I used valium to help with the withdrawal. I know that you are trying to withdraw from valium. Maybe you need the help of a psychiatrist to perhaps introduce a different anti depressant and then once you are stable on that to very slowly withdraw the valium. I think that increasing the mirtazapine and then decreasing it is doing you no good at all. These are my experiences of both mirtazapine and valium. I suggest that you contact your GP and let us know how you get on.
