    Have you Been on It for depression ? I am on Mirt for the second time ( was on It 6 years ago for 5-6 month) but I feel it’s making me worse really- more depressed. 6 years ago I went down to 30 for a week then 15 for another and then 0. I was fine. I didn’t know then It can cause withdrawals to be honest. I have found out now from this forum and fb. A lot of people tapper even slower. I think you will have to take your time and see how you feel.
