I am trying desperately to come off mirtazipan and I am trying to work out the best plan to withdraw, 26 days ago I reduced my dose from 30 to 15, although I am bearing it, the side effects are awful, I have a thick headache, nausea, trembling, but to name a few, today I burst into tears for no apparent reason, please can someone tell me if this is normal? I was hoping to cut the dose down by half again, does anyone know if this happens after each reduction ? And when is right time to reduce. Thank you in advance for your help.Margaret x

    I agree with jacq....

    i tried reduction and it didn't seem to work so this time I'm doing every other night at 7.5. So far so good. I just started this week going two days off one day on and wow no anxiety or gastro problems and I actually slept all night. So next week three days off...unless I get Sick then I will stick with my two days off. I guess I won't know until I'm off this junk. But I'm feeling well. I'm worried but not anxious.

    ( for me and this medicine..I never had much problem with reduction it was always a week after taking it that I felt sick. 

    We will all get of this medication eventually....it takes time. I thought today if I only had a months worth of pain medication I'd be fine .....
