I started mirtazapine was on it for 9 weeks, 15 mg for 17 days, 7.5 for 41 days felt better doc said just quit I asked about tapering he said take 3.75 for 5 days and quit , I was off for 31 days and week 4 and 5 got really bad, high anxiety and panic attacks, I reinstated at 7.5 for 12 days then cut down to 3.75 for 31 days, I am just starting 1.87 now, my question is how will be my withdrawal this time. I was only on 7.5 for 12 days, tapered to 3.75 for 31 days and now on 1.87, would like to stay at 1.87 2 or 3 weeks then quit

    HI Mark

    Similar story with me. I used Mirtazapine for only 2 months and than needed more than one year and a half to go off. I think you should stabilize yourself at a very low dose and than slow tapper from there....
