hello i am looking for advice on coming off mirtazapine. I have been taking it for over a year and a half now and on 30mg at night to help me sleep. since being on it i have had all sorts of things happening with my body. weak muscles in chest, dizziness when standing, pressure in the head and behind the ears. I now want to come off mirtazapine but looking for advice on how to do it safely as I've heard the withdrawals can be pretty horrendous. I spike to the doctor but he said I should stay on them and didn't really give me much of a choice so any help and advice would be appreciated.

    hi Lisa- was just wondering how you are getting on now after your most recent update? I'm taking mirtazapine too, as well as citalopram, but am currently reducing citalopram in order to switch to sertraline. After that is done I will begin to taper off the mirtazapine. any other insights you can give would be really helpful. thanks
