Regardless, don’t think it’s the meds now just think it’s a pattern I have to break.
Slowly cut down from 45 mg to 30 then 15 then nothing last 3 weeks.I’ve lost 14lbs so far – no apatite.
If you are on a higher dosage, you will likely need to conduct a gradual taper in order to minimize withdrawal symptoms.Quitting any antidepressant “cold turkey,” including Remeron is thought to yield more severe withdrawal symptoms than if you conduct a gradual taper. ShevilaI’ve been on mirtazapine a bit over 7 months. Thanks to all on this post.I tapered super slowly but still had side bad symptoms after stopping completely.
Best wishes, SaraHi All. You can do it.Don’t hang in there, that makes no sense. I am just thinking of going off. See below for a comprehensive list of adverse effects. F*** big pharma and their poisonous drugs destroying lives every day.I have so appreciated all the comments people have made on withdrawing from Mirtazapine.
If you’re doing ok, then bite THAT half in half (I know it’s tricky!) Mind over matter.
The major increase in appetite tends to result in significant Others who take this drug find it makes them feel too sleepy and/or it eventually “poops out” and stops working. Meditate.
These factors include things like: the time span over which you took Remeron, your dosage, how quickly you tapered when discontinuing, as well as your individual physiology.Over how long did you take Remeron? Overall think it’s ok.30mg for years, down to 15mg for 3 months, then totally stopped. I hope this helps. !Horrid panic attacks, vertigo, sweating, not able to eat, vomiting feelings, passing out feelings, worse akathisia, feelings of going insane, fogged head, adrenaline surges, burning skin and brain, zaps, horrid headaches, rashes, air hunger, nightmares, shaking, visual disturbances, aching muscles, joints, moods all over.This drug only made me sick and even sicker getting off it.

Water was literally pouring off my body.
I appreciate all the input – I feel like I now know what to expect.
This site has helped me to not feel alone. As you can see, a taper rate of 10% may take some individuals an extended period of time to successfully reach 0 mg. I’ll fall asleep again to wake 2 hours later.
Weight loss? Which I have.I really missed laughing. I only came off as I was then taking 2 antidepressants, so figure it was best to just take the one.My sleeping pattern is still super crazy (although not as bad as it was), but I’ve just been told my vitamin D is low, so that might actually be a cause of it. I’m done. Hang in there.
Everyone will react differently to withdrawal and some people may not be as sensitive to the discontinuation effects as others.Much of the withdrawal symptoms are based on individual circumstances.
Today’s sleeping was 3am to 6am, 8am to 11:40am, 4:30pm to 6:20pm.I’ve been diagnosed with low vitamin D, so that may be the cause of the day time sleep.
I don’t have depression, but I have severe anxiety and panic disorder. This drug is poison.Try taking full dose every other night instead of every night. I was on 30mg for two years and decided it’s enough so my doctor dropped my dosage from 30 to 15. I did love not being anxious though. I exercise daily too.Speed-walking or running a few miles daily is very helpful. What you are experiencing may be very uncomfortable and may push your mental limits, but maintain faith that you will eventually recover and you eventually will.If you have successfully withdrawn from Remeron and/or are going through withdrawals, feel free to share your experience in the comments section below. Some reports may have incomplete information.Patients can bring a copy of the report to their healthcare provider to ensure that all drug risks and benefits are fully discussed and understood.

up to 45 mg). As I said except for some really intense vertigo/dizziness every few days for a few hours I had NO withdrawal symptoms.
Had to come off fairly quickly because it was weakening my thigh and biceps muscles rapidly. Definitely mind over matter. The important thing to remember is not to panic and remember that it's just a withdrawal symptom.Withdrawal from mirtazapine can be a nasty experience, so it's important to lessen the symptoms felt by an individual to avoid serious consequences.
My insomnia is uncontrollable. I’ve seen people suffer years from this horrid drug after off it. So it’s good to be off… annoyed I was put on this one I must say!Hi Sara and Congrats on coming off. Maybe I was making too large of reductions (.9 mg to .8 to .7, etc.)? Prior to being on Mirtazapine, I did suffer from restless leg and twitching at night.Lately, I have been noticing signs of REM Sleep Behavior Disorder.
