So I've been on Mertazipine for 4 weeks now and have found that even though the medication helps with my mood slightly and my sleep, the increased apatite and dissasociated feeling was just too much. My doctor suggested a switch to Sertraline, which I accepted, but didn't mention anything about tapering off!

After reading on here about how bad Mertazapine can be for withdraw, I'm scared to just switch over in the space of one day..

Does any one have experience with this? I'm concidering weather to chop my last tablet in half and then half again, to have a bit of a taper. To just start with the Sertraline and stop the mert or to taper the mert while taking the sertraline.

Anyone have any ideas? D:
