Feedback on Mirtazapine
Hi ladies I would be interested on any feedback in relation to your use of Mirtazapine. Any issues re effects (however mild), dependency, withdrawal would be appreciated. Thanks Summer :-)

Hello Summer, I can't speak from personal experience but I have a family member who was taking this drug for a couple of years. When things in life changed and they felt they were ready to go off it, there was a very gradual weaning off process. For the first week, every second tablet was reduced by half, then only half tablets taken for another week. Progressively, each tablet was cut in half over a period of approx. 4 weeks. Once quarters were taken, every second tablet was skipped for the next few weeks until they were completely stopped. Our doctor told us this was the most effective process and it allowed the drug to be stopped without withdrawal or anxiety. It has not been needed again.
Like many similar drugs, it is just topping up natural chemicals which are being depleted due to various stresses to our body.
Once our own chemical balance is back in place, a gentle process of "un-taking" the drug is needed. All the best, Jane xx
