Hi, I have been on 15mg of Mirt now for 4 weeks & want off, can anybody recommend a safe tapering routine to reduce withdrawal symptoms, I don't have access to the liquid version, only tablets. Thanks

You should not take CBD oil with mirtazipine not good option have you read that , even herbal natural remedies can interfere with certain medications recently a study as arose confirming this so CBD oil isn't a good move

Hi Janey, will do, mine arrives next week. How are you going with the CBD oil is it helping with your Anxiety, Mood, sleep & nausea after dropping the Mirt?

its helping somewhat but I have psychosis so my fears are irrational. sleep is improved now wasnt at first.
nausea was only temporary a day or do.
I've added in turmeric now so I'll take them in evenings. That's also good for all sorts.

I spoke to my doctor & he wants me to stay on Mirt for another month, he suggested increasing to 30mg or 22.5mg from 15mg. I have been on now for nearly 5 weeks & so far it is only helping my appetite & sleep slightly, not my Anxiety & Depression. Should I stay on 15 for another month, increase or taper off? Thanks

After thinking long & hard I have decided to go ahead & taper off my 15mg that I have been on for 5 weeks. I have decided after realising Mirt has been only helping my appetite & sleep slightly, not my Anxiety or improving my mood. This is my taper plan :
7.5mg for 2 weeks
1.875 for 2 weeks
1.875 every second, third day etc till I am a week between doses then off...
Is this a reasonable tapering plan?
