Was on 15mg for the past 2 years to deal with my anxiety, which was extremely bad but felt it was time to stop. From start of Nov I dropped from 15 to 7.5 then in Dec dropped to 3.75 etc til I was down to about 1.5 then stopped. Been 2 weeks so far an only for a day or 2 I felt queasy but honestly I feel a hundred times better, more energy I'm exercising again eating less an now I'm 10Ib lighter. All the best to everyone🎉

I stopped Pregabalin and mirtazapine cold turkey at the same time. I did this during COVID so was able to ride it out. Went absolutely nuts for about 8 weeks. Well worth it though.

This is so helpful, thankyou! I've just started to come off 45mg of mirtazapine and you've given me so much hope and positivity.

Thank you for your honesty. I’m also battling withdrawal from mirtazapine. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Thanks so much for the informative vids. I’ve had extremely high levels of anxiety from Feb last year - when it first started I didn’t sleep for 5 days - it was hell. I really didn’t know what was going on, I had a bit of health anxiety at the time and remember drinking a really strong coffee - which I think triggered it all. Over the year it came and went, each time the panic and fear would arise it would lead to two or three days of insomnia before it settled back down again. I had so many doctors appointments - they prescribed Citalopram - and it had a catastrophic reaction - I ended up in hospital on (it probably didn’t help that I took it for 2 weeks - stopped as I thought I didn’t need - the fear came on again so I restarted). Doc said - certain rare cases people have the reaction I did (woke up felt like I was dying and called an ambulance straight away). They prescribed Mirtazapine and have only just started taking - it’s 15mg, but I felt this was too much so I’m halving to 7.5 - and taking every other day. It certainly helped with the insomnia! But I feel like I don’t want to rely on it - but I also don’t want to have the extreme anxiety attacks. Have started doing a bit more exercise - like you yoga and cycling and a bit of gym. Might try to get off them early but will see how it goes. Thanks again, hope things are going well and you’re feeling better! 🙂

Hi, I m taking Mirtazapine for over 8 months for anxiety. I started at 7.5mg and slowly increased to 30mg after 2 months. It did help me with my insomnia and i feel more calm. Slowly now I feel more and more tired when waking up. So i wish to slowly taper down the dosages.

You have explained things perfectly and your reassurance was astounding. You have inspired me to make a video on my tapering

Has anyone else had terrible allergy issues after getting off this? My eyes & skin & throat just went crazy. Had to go back on it because of that. I was on it for 4 years.

Glad ur doing better, best of luck

Hey I stopped taking mirtazapine about 11 weeks ago. At the same time about a week off of it I started experiencing extreme brain zaps and muscle twitching at the same time whenever I would try to fall asleep...I've read that it only lasts a week or more but it's 11 weeks later and they are just as strong as ever. When this happens I also get this feeling like I'm falling in my head...are these brain zaps or something else...I e been seeing doctor's and they have no answers still...ive had two CT Scans on my head and an MRI and 20 minute brain waves test at the Neurologist...and bloodwork...nothing... everything came back ... normal...has anyone ever heard of these brain zaps lasting months...? ...I'm starting to get really scared...and think I may have a serious condition going on

Really loved this video thank you!

Every time i would finally be falling asleep id get the adrenaline rushes also and my heart would go super fast 😒

Imagine if you were on them for 35+years!!! What would you do???

Off 4 weeks 4.5 months titration am very poorly with anxiety and can’t function all in space of 4 weeks. People do die of mirt withdrawal due to taking an life

I’m 14 months into a taper from mirtzapoison! At 1.65mg. Devils drug

I was tampered off cybalta and at 30 mg they told me to stop taking it because they don't provide lower dosages I been having bad heachahes it's been a week now but am hoping by 6 weeks or 8 weeks I will be better update you guys

7 weeks off mirtazapine now. Have not slept right since. Fall asleep ok, but wakeup after 2 hrs and then im wide awake all night, but shattered all day. Bad heart palpitations, heavy head feeling, anxiety is back. The insomnia is the worst, feel like crying at times in the night when i cant sleep. Actually contemplate going back on at a low dose just to sleep, but i dont want to do that.

going from 30 to 15 mg made my heart race for 2 weeks.

I jumped off 15 mg mirtazapine i know I shouldn’t have. It’s been 3 weeks been stuck in bed the whole time. I think I’m feeling better but I’m not sure. Don’t know what to do

Please I’ve been taking this 15 mg for 25 years I’m now so upset no one told me this would be so difficult. 😢I’m taking 7.5 on Friday and Tuesdays for 6 months and just a few days ago I’m having such weird withdrawal. I’m doing 10% a month. I have no liquid taper. I’m so scared

Hi there, from your previous video from day 7-8 until this video, day 44 was it good progress in the right direction or was it not linear where you had good days and then bad days again until day 44? Trying to figure out if the body heals it gets better and better everyday or if there are days where you still feel awful and that's normal; until your as far along as day 44 -- thank you for the help

Im trying to tappering off mirtazapine, i cut the 7.5 tablet and at the 3rd night i woke up at 3 am, and couldn't go back to sleep, a hight anxiety, couldn't breath so i came back at 7.5 but im planning on tapering off, been almost 2 years with this med, Im scared of been off and experiencing insomnia, im planning on taking 3 weeks off of work so i can do this. Initially help me with insomnia but its almost 2 years, i want to be back to be myself, some days i feel so tired, and lightheaded. Any advice

How quick did your withdrawals start , I’ve just came of after a week taper but only on it 6 weeks

Congratulations for coming off your meds! I have just been prescribed this and have decided not to take it. Thank you ❤🫶🏻❤️

How long did you taper mirtazapine? I’m super scared I’ve been on 30mg for 3 months and I have a feeling I won’t sleep naturally anymore.

Are you better from the withdrawal?
