Tapering off

I started with mirtazapine of 7.5mg on August 18th. I was taking that dose for 4 days then went up to 15mg for about 2 weeks. Then up to 30mg for about 3 weeks. So, I've been on it for something longer than 5 weeks overall.

I don't believe it has done anything to help except for changing my metabolism and inducing hair loss and scalp pimples and zits; therefore, I decided to taper off 2 days ago.

Since I haven't been taking it for a long time, what is the best approach toward tapering off safely?

Could I take 15mg for about 7 days, then 7.5mg for another 7, then 3.75mg for another 7?

Or should I immediately lower to 7.5mg tonight?

Anyone experienced with this drug, could you, please, give me an advice?

Thank you for reading.
