Mirtazapine withdrawal 2 months, still suffering.

I think you have reduced far too quickly. Personally, I would restart at 15mg and taper 10% every 2-3 weeks. I know it's fiddly and seems to take forever but that's the best way to avoid these withdrawal symptoms. Look for older posts in this forum, in particular follow David's story (he has a cute Yorkshire terrier). Look back to Jun/Jul and you should be able to pick up. He describes in great detail the horrors of stopping this medication cold turkey. All the best.

I'll put the link to the post that I created for getting off psych meds safely.  There are links there that point you to more help on how to taper.  The problem is, the meds are not made in increments that facilitate getting off.  So, decreasing by half tablets and such leads to failure and people going back on the drug, perhaps the reason they make the tablets in such large sizes!

Mirtazapine is hell to come off of.  The method that is most ideal is to taper by 10% of the previous dose.  So, if you went back on 7.5 mg, you would stabilize there for a month, and then remove 10% of that for three to four weeks (so, 6.75 mg).  Then, as long as you feel stable, you would then cut another 10%, removing .68 mg, for about 6.1 mg.  If you keep halving the previous dose, that is a 50% cut and your nervous system will definitely rebel, especially as you get down to the very lowest amounts.  How to get such dosages, you ask?  You buy a jeweler's milligram scale (we can get them from Amazon in the US for about $25), and we break off bits of the tablets to get those amounts.

You might find this all too fussy, but when you have been through the horrible withdrawal and fear you will never be able to come off the drug because it is too horrible, it is amazing what lengths you will go to!

If you are in the UK, you may be able to get a liquid version of mirt from the pharmacy.  You dose it with a syringe, and try to get as close to the 10% as you can with the little marks on the barrel of the syringe.  At the lowest doses, it may be necessary to dilute with water 50:50 or such, to get the right amount more easily.  If math isn't your strong suit, you can ask me!

This sounds like Mirt WD. I tried to go off Mirt twice and went back on and my symptoms went away. The third time I was able to get off Mirt. 

Go back on a low dose get stable and then do the recommended very slow withdrawal that was recommended by Betsy. 

Good luck and I hope you feel better quick. Maybe start low like 7.5. This should put you in a much better spot. ( if not then do go back to 30 but it would be more ideal to try 7.5 first ) 

This WD can be very bad ...get well soon...

Listening to you guys, you conclude that I've withdrawn way too fast. But according to my doctor "Withdrawal from mirt only last for about a week and what you feel is something else".

I find this really weird and not good at all. How can the idea about withdrawal be so different? Because I know this can't be right.

Should I try to withstand another 1-2 months in hope of feeling better? Or do I have to reinsate the medication just to be able to get off it at all?

Many of us, especially the older we are, were raised to always trust the doctor, the doctor knows best.  Unfortunately, there are many bad doctors out there, and some good doctors with bad information.  We are ultimately in charge of what goes into our bodies.  Why would symptoms that are called withdrawal if they fall within two weeks, four weeks, or six weeks of stopping these drugs be called withdrawal, but the same symptoms that fall outside that line are now called "something else?"  I've seen many people chase symptoms with expensive testing only to find they are totally normal.  The docs really need to go on the withdrawal support forums and listen to the collective experience that is withdrawal there.

Yes indeed, very fast your taper was.  I think I mentioned in another thread that you could reinstate at 7.5 mg and see if that brings you back after a few days to a week.  If not, then try 10.75 etc. 

I've just spent the last hour weighing out my doses for the next two weeks.  A real pain in the butt, but I've suffered severe protracted withdrawal and don't want to go there again!  Also, those who go too fast at the lowest doses really lose their sleep, unable to get any sleep for nights at a time. You really don't want to go there.  And unfortunately, when folks have made such big drops that their sleep is affected that way, a lot of times reinstatement doesn't bring the sleep back!  Much better to go too slow than to make that error. Little to no sleep is the worst thing that any of us can do stress-wise.

Also try to protect yourself from big stressors during this time.  Some find that or even too much exercise to exasperate withdrawal symptoms.
