Hi I have been on Mirt 15mg since 22nd Jan 2016 after a few weeks I noticed I was piling on weight and I noticed my joints had started to really ache I spoke to my GP who said it was a side affect of the tablets which was quite rare but I should taper off them slowly. Fast forward to today I did 3 weeks of 11.25mg and now on my 4th day of 7.5mg and I don't feel ill but I just don't feel with it. Is this normal? How long should I stay on 7.5? And after that should I half that again or just stop taking it?

please any help will be much appreciated 

Karen

    You wanna go down to the last grains. I jumped off at 1.5 grams and that gave me 12 months of withdrawals
