Hi, ive bin on Mirtazapine for about a year now I was on 45mg. It was good at first but due to putting so much weight on I was miserable so I asked the doctor if I could change to something else. She said I could but first I'd have to gradually come off mirt so she told me to take 30mg for 7 days then 15mg for 7 days. Ive read that it usually takes months to come off them from the highest dose. I'm now experiencing an upset tummy & I dont know whether or not its withdrawals. Can anyone shed some light on this for me please. Thankyou x

    Hi Amanda,Yes its withdrawal I was on7.5mg for 7 months and had dreadful side effects ,fatigue no appetite and some others .I have been off it for almost a year and have gone a few weeks feeling I was back to normal only for it to kick back in mainly stomach cramps and nausea.I was very tempted to go back on the drug just to feel normal again but resisted as I had come this far.Of course we are all different and you may get over it faster .I just wish Id never gone on it.Hopefully you will get over it soon .
