Coming off mirtazepine
« on: July 29, 2013, 11:24:40 PM »
Hi Guys

I have been off Mirtazepine now for a week and have had no problems in this time.  I am aware that all ADs build up in the system so it could well be its too early for any symptoms. Has anyone been on this drug and isn't on it any more? What, if any, withdrawal effects will I notice and is it an easy drug to stop?

I so want this to work out as I will then only be on one AD plus a sleeper and it would be great to not be so medicated.

Any advice will be appreciated xx

I had no problems coming off of it at all. I gained some weight while on it; I lost that weight without trying after coming off.

Hope it's still going well for you!
