I'm depressed now??

Posted , 4 users are following.

I've been taking 15mgs of mirtazipine at night for 3 months. Apart from putting on weight it's been Ok, but I don't want to stay on tabs, so last Friday 31st March I halved the tablet. I've had bouts of anxiety most days & now today I feel depressed. Is this withdrawals or a sign I need 15mgs?

    Apart from the weight  issue could you say your mood was better on Mirtazapine? 

    Even after 3 months Mirtazapine withdrawal can take between 4 - 10 days to kick in.

      Compared to how I am now, yes my mood was better. If I knew it's withdrawals then I can cope.
