45mg mirtaziphine withdrawal
Posted , 4 users are following.
Were do I start?? Decided to come of as they wasn't helping me anymore, gaind 4 stone & feel a mess!!.. Dr told me to only stay on them for 6 month however I'm sure it's been 2 yr.. I've been left in limbo.. Have 2 teenagers & a single mum.. Started a complementary therapy course that I couldn't finish due to my symptoms being erratic, so now I'm hoping I will feel better & more focused on my day to day activities, they are a sedative & hoed me sleep through a tough time.. However continue use to me has made me worse.. I'm trying my hardest to keep focused on the future instead of feeling numb & constantly wanting to sleep.. So the Dr put me on 30 mg to take for 2 week then going down to 15mg for another 2 week then take one very other day for 2 week.. So this Sunday 11 March 2015 I stop.. The symptoms of coming of them have been unbearable, panic attaks, brain seizures, clenched jaw, muscles tensed up in agony.. Dry mouth nausea can't eat can't sleep, sweating, concentration like a goldfish.. Omg will it stop??? I keep panicking thinking I'll be permanently like this 😂ðŸ˜ðŸ˜¤ðŸ˜«ðŸ™ˆ

Sounds like you have come off them too quickly.........I am coming off at the moment and am doing the gradual tapering method.
With this, you swap 1 nights 30mg tablet with a 15 mgs tablet on the first week, 2 nights  30mg tablets for 15mgs  on the 2nd week (not on consecutive nights) 3 nights on the 3rd week and so on, so you come off 30mgs and down to 15mgs completely over a period of 7 weeks.
Then you do the same thing with the 15 mgs tablets ie miss out one nights tablet completely on the first week, 2 nights on the 2nd week, 3 on the 3rd etc (not on consecutive nights). So a further 7 weeks tapering.
As this is all a bit hard to remember, especially at bedtime! I wrote all the tabs I should take on which nights in my diary. Its good to keep a record of how you are feeling too.
And of course if you struggle with it at any point, all just ease back for a couple of days.
It has taken me 10 weeks so far and Im down to five 15 mgs tabs per week..................!!
