I have been on mirt for 8 years at 45mg . have tried a couple of times to come off it and it wasn't pretty. I am now starting to reduce with doctors help 45mg one day 30mg the next for a couple of months and it seems to be okay. The next reduction is down to 30mg full time and i am a bit scared and I want to supplement with Lions mane. Will talk to the doctor but wondered if anyone else had tried this and what your experience was please? I can't see any info about using it with mirt and what any probs might be. thank you

    UPDATE spoken to GP who has at least heard of lions mane (its a mushroom), can't see any problem with interaction with mirt, obviously clinical trials need to be done with it. reduced down to 30mg 3 days in a row for a few weeks and then 45mg and GP says I can do 30mg now and I will be fine. stay at that until spring due to SAD and then carry on the reduction next year. I do feel tired but apart from that okay really. going to get some lions mane too
