The last 16 days have been really tough. I'm averaging 3/4 hrs of light sleep each night. Sometimes none at all. I keep as active as I can in the day, in order to feel tired enough to sleep in the evening.
I have tapered slowly from 15 mg since December (using the CITA method) I started the tablets in April last year.
I wasn't depressed before starting this but it has left me feeling so low and desperate for a good nights sleep. I wish I could get back to sleeping 8 hours a night again.
Other withdrawal symptoms include nausea, de personalisation, obsessive thoughts and Repetitive songs.
Any idea when this is likely to improve? It's such a struggle to remain strong when I feel and look like a zombie everyday.

This is daily I never get a break from it even tho I know it's not me it's the tabelt. It's still hard to self talk when I get too anxous my thoughts run away and race with all sorts that I'm dying.
I'm stil on my 15 itching to get off once I have the strength. I know it says the wd can last month's but apparently our body's do adapt and return to normal. I've asked my doc over and over and they say we do adapt over time just everyone is difdifferent. Sounds like you done the safest wd like cita said so hopefully you will feel ok soon.
Keep going and be positive and tell your self everyday your off is one step closer to feeling human again haha. It's an awful experience I know but there is many success stories and your off now just a matter off waiting on body yo adapt it seems most find its 6-8 weeks from what I've read but each week you will feel better so keep going

Sorry to hear of your suffering & the dreaded wd of Mirt. I understand from what you say that you wd slowly over 5 months ~ wow I am so not looking forard to wd after the summer months!!
Not sure if you want to try and find the other discussions re wd - there are some wise folk who have experience of wd, one lady (Rose) advised 7.5. mg for 6 months then 3.5 for 6 months and weaning after that! If you want to try find it it might reassure you.
Wishing you good health, be strong, I know it's difficult.

i did everything by the book, during WD and after and to no avail, mirt twisted my mind and it sent wrong signals to all parts of my body.
i ended up with a rare disease called parathyroidism please be careful. If you can ...I've always been healthy and was put on mirt for insomnia. So, I know where your at and I m sorry you are there and the pain is so great but keep going eventually we will get out of this mess. Bless you❤️
Also im sure your doctor is putting you off on this mirt WD or are you getting help? Please get to a doctor that will and can help you. Let me know how you are doing.
