I am on my slow taper from 30 mg of Mirt. (Been on them 18months-2yrs) have tapered to 15 with no problems over the last couple of months.
Could someone remind me please if/when these food cravings will stop or slow down.
Many thanks.
p.s. Advice for new users. If you would not be happy with gaining a great deal of weight....get off these sooner rather than later.

I am tapering also, from 15 mg, now at 6 mg. The food craving has ceased hurrah !! hurrah !! I would say it slolwed down at about 8 mg, for me. We're all different, some have said it was better for them at 10 mg. Just go slow, important not to shock the nervous system, let those poor neuro transmitters return to normal gradually.
I think going from 30 to 15 in a couple of months is pretty quick so you've done really well. Are you UK ? Mirt' liquid is available here, costly so have to beg the doctor for it, but so much easier once you start splitting the dose by small portions.
Best wishes.

Anyway....onwards and upwards, I will not be a slave to this weight and will try my hardest to conquer this.
Best of luck to those on the same journey.

I'm singing from the same hymn sheet re the weight, only now can I even stick to a healthy plan for more than 2 days, so awful isn't it. But beware the fast track off Mirt, you don't want to be another one having hurrendous WD symptoms. Not sure if you have read the advice of wd 10% every 3 to 4 weeks? So to go from 15 mg to 10 is 33% drop, hmmm that is too fast for many, maybe read about/have an informed choice here:

and then click on the link "REDUCING AD'S USING 10% WITHDRAWAL METHOD".
Best wishes.
