    Hi juls you should taper off it if it ain't doing no good and try another med...when I went cold turkey for a week he gave me sleeping pills which worked really good. Take care sweetheart x

    Hi juls..im on 15mg. My doctor told me to alternate for 10 days to try and get off them. Anyway I started doing this Friday so I'm half way through and the withdrawal is nasty. Shaking terrible and God knows what it's doing to my nervous system.. Feel so anxious I dread waking up in the morning. I took 50mg of amitryptyline for 12 years and was given mirtazapine instead. I'm determined to get off this drug but I'm sure going through the mill trying to get there.
