    Hi Daisy,

    I am off Mirtazapine for 2 weeks now.

    I was on 15 mg for about a year.

    I took 15 mg tablets but one of the perscriptions was the tab that melts in your mouth. I think thats what you are referring to. You can break those tablets in half..

    I jumped from 15 to 7.5 in one go.

    This was very tough and if i was to do it again id alternate between 15 and 7.5 each night for a few weeks before settling on 7.5. I was on 7.5 for about 6 weeks. Then 7.5 every second night for about a month. Then 7.5 every third night for a few weeks before stopping completely.

    This worked well for me. The worst drop was from 15 to 7.5 as stated.

    Good luck with it. Let me know how you are getting on.
